"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

I had to turn off the car radio—the news today really broke my heart. Like it did before, history is repeating itself, with similar or different protagonists. I’m worried it’s just opening the door for more of these events to happen in the future.

People might have varying opinions about TT refugees on Red Note —- And I would love to hear! From what I’ve seen over the past few days, it feels like there’s been a significant online cultural exchange happening.

Hi everyone, new here! By way of introduction, I’m a sociologist of gender, sexualities, and family life. My recently published book “Marriage Material” shows how access to legal marriage has transformed same-sex relationships, challenging dominant ideas about the declining power of marriage.
