Saw Glen and Marketa live in Madison. So sad.

"Authoritarianism doesn’t have to involve men in suits dragging people into cars...Orban showed that critics — or pockets of independence — can be rendered pliable by making them believe that the smart move is to affirmatively sacrifice some of their independence" @yale.edu wapo.st/3RW4HPo

Note: we cannot conclude QoL is half that of Canada because we don’t know if this is an interval scaled measure let alone a ratio scaled measure. Still, it is shocking if not surprising. Sorry for the pedantry.

Yesterday, @asanews.bsky.social announced that, due to cuts in funding from the National Science Foundation, it will no longer run its Dissertation Research Improvement Grants. The consequences of these funding cuts to science and the future research capacity of the US will be staggering.

Outstanding insight into likely effects of student visa time limits on study and post-study training. Other countries will absorb some, but not all of the talent. The setback to scientific progress will concentrate in the US but will be global in scope and have lasting if not permanent effects.

Hey public health sky — Does anyone have a policy-making simulation related to social, political, or economic determinants of health that I could have a look at? I’m working on revising my final project for my undergrad comparative health politics and policy class and looking for good ideas.

Federal Student Aid staff are moving out of ED's main building this week, and will go to a building owned by Treasury in a couple of weeks. All of this is happening right as the fall term starts for millions of students.

Yes, higher ed has the steepest percentage decline in trust since 2015. But it started only second to the military in trust back in 2015. Even with this steep decline, in 2026, higher ed has higher trust than most institutions except the military and the police. 3/

Not to mention, it's a pretty awesome suit.

Those are probably not Republican ads.

Time to revisit @aaup.org's 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure: Tenure benefits universities because it frees teaching and research of political interference and makes "the profession attractive to men and women of ability." It's a recruiting tool not a privilege.

Thanks to BBC News for the invitation to describe the two big opportunities that President Trump missed today by imposing his Section 301 tariffs, as well as HOW (not) TO WIN A TRADE WAR.

Probably, because it’s the only hope we have of any incremental funding at all.

Good reminder of how hard it is to access health insurance for people who are disabled by their conditions but in the waiting period for coverage for SSDI/Medicare. The mortality during the wait period for people with cancer (neoplasms) is nearly 40%. www.healthaffairs.org/doi/epdf/10....

95% of my communications from the Democratic Party look like this. I have never in my life signed up to be texted by a campaign or the party, and I spent fruitless months attempting to unsubscribe from these. These are functionally identical to scam texts.

Trump's 10–12.5% tariffs on 60 countries are the wrong policy They divert U.S. and allied attention from the trade war we should be fighting: reducing the dangerous concentration of production of essential goods in China, which Beijing can weaponize, and building resilient alternative supply chains

Hear me out, what if Nolan tried to keep the linearity by cutting the timeline down to a day and setting it in Dublin

The Trump administration wants to try to give funding to individual researchers at universities instead of routing funds through institutions. I read this as an effort to eliminate indirect costs after the administration lost that battle in court last year. Gift link.

You should take your case to the EU.
