petersuberUpdate. The Association of American Universities (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AAU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AAU</a>) defense of US higher ed is a bit better. It doesn't focus narrowly on the economy. <a href="https://www.aau.edu/newsroom/press-releases/meeting-moment-facing-americas-research-universities" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.aau.edu/newsroom/press-releases/meeting-moment-facing-americas-research-universities</a>But it ends on a jarring note of <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nationalism</a>. "America cannot afford to pause for one second in our race with <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#China</a> and other competitor nations – nations who are doubling down on their investments in university-based research into crucial emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing."I want US research to be <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a>, and fully available to China and every other country. BTW, I want the same for Chinese research and research from every other country. Taking the nationalist argument seriously makes it an argument against OA, which also makes it an argument against current federal policy (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/NelsonMemo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NelsonMemo</a>) and against the interests of all US universities. Let's remember that science is international. Let's defend open access, not nation-limited access. And let's defend US universities because they're universities, not because they're in the US. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Universities</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a>

But unions representing higher ed employees have stepped up to the plate. They’ve protested in Washington, D.C., and on their campuses, organized open letters and filed a flurry of lawsuits against the Trump administration. Union leaders say they are filling a void in an existential fight for higher ed’s future. They wish others would join their resistance, but their unified strength in numbers may protect their members from federal retaliation in ways that higher ed officials aren’t."<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a>

chiasmAnother day, another example of me asking a grad student to do something , and them finding the files where I got halfway thru it myself a month ago, that I had forgotten I did... At least I left them a well labeled directory, a readme file, and the R code, so they could take over from where I left off. 😂 <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>

philipToday, I set up a VSCode plugin (<a href="https://github.com/ltex-plus/vscode-ltex-plus" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/ltex-plus/vscode-ltex-plus</a>) to fix my writing and... it feels somehow fitting that it uses the language server protocol to fix English, in the same way we use it to fix program code. Not sure why, but that tickles me 😅. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a>

instantiatethisAll across <a href="https://keyboards.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> we get resources for the one big project and we write our grant reports and then we RUN THOSE SUPPLIES INTO THE GROUND because we have no idea when or if we will ever be able to convince someone to give us the funding to get an upgrade. We continue to use equipment regularly that Apple, Google, Best Buy, etc. would not give you the postage to return let alone a buy back rate to bridge the inflation gap for the already 3 years out of date upgrade we wish we had 2/?

petersuberGood points from Richard Thompson Ford, Stanford Law prof: <a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/gutting-dei-wont-save-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.chronicle.com/article/gutting-dei-wont-save-us</a> (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/paywalled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paywalled</a>) "As lawyers across the political spectrum agree, the government cannot make giving up a constitutional right a condition of funding…Civil-rights laws do not permit the executive branch to run an extortion racket by withholding funding approved by Congress and then dictating terms for its return. Quite the opposite: Civil-rights laws require a careful, program-specific assessment to identify any violations, after which the Department of Education must give notice of its concerns and try to secure voluntary compliance. Only if such efforts fail may the department begin enforcement proceedings, which require it to submit a report to Congress 30 days before withholding funding. Even then, funds may only be withheld from the specific programs that violated the law. For example, the government can’t withhold grants from a medical school because of violations in the history department, much less, as in the case of Columbia, suspend a host of unrelated grants and contracts because of vaguely defined violations."<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEI</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Funding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Funding</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Universities</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USLaw</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a>

Nick WalkerNew academic publication! The Elgar Encyclopedia of Queer Studies includes a chapter by me on Neuroqueer Theory.
