This is my son’s soccer teammate. This is heartbreaking to watch, no kid should go through this. I know his parents, they are good people. No family should endure this. The cruelty and evil actions of the trump administration and ICE are tearing families and communities apart.
Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”
A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

It’s been a 24 hour traveling day from Portland to Pécs, which includes 2 planes, a bus, a metro, a train & a car.
I am so excited to be at ERM2025 and to be selected as a speaker in the New Perspectives, Tools and Resources session!

Finally, while we first learned about this with F31 predoctoral fellowships and diversity supplements, this is also occurring for F32 postdoctoral, K99/R00 and F99/R00 postdoctoral transition awards, and R01s with explicit diversity language.

My feed is overwhelmed with scientists right now calling out the catastrophic consequences of the NIH indirect cost order from last night. If those same people aren't also speaking out against the anti-trans, anti-DEI, anti-immigrant orders...we are lost. The only path forward is solidarity.

I created a simple flow chart to help my lab trainees choose the most appropriate stats test in Prism (*for single-factor comparisons only). Feel free to share with your group if you think it could be helpful first start.
