Wilma 🐶 is celebrating her 7th birthday 🎂 with a publication alert 🚨
Wilma consulted AI 💻 to generate ideas about presents for dog birthdays. While the AI 💻 suggests an enormous treat 🍬, Wilma's humans chose enjoying a sunny day outside with some healthy carrot snacks 🥕.

Trump admin doesn't support replications to improve science ofc but wants to use them to bring long discredited ideas, flawed research questions and methods back into circulation. We should have collectively resisted the weaponization of replications as some magical demarcation criterion.
The Trump administration wants more studies replicated. That won't be easy
A key question is which studies get repeated and, with limited resources, at what expense.

Women are less likely to enter competitions than men—even when equally qualified. But telling them this can change behavior.
📈 In a field experiment on a job application platform, we found that highlighting this gender gap increased the # of job apps women submitted by ~20%.

This is actually the worst thing I’ve seen from federal granting agencies thus far.
This CDC "survey" getting sent to grantees is wild yall.
This is some serious "Kiss my Ring" level bullshit.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
