Somehow this isn't getting covered in the US, but biodiversity hotspot Indonesia is burning. Fires bigger than our California wildfires. We need help buying hoses, equipment for the local people to become fire fighters because there isn't anyone else. coreborneo.com/wildfire-app...

HELP!!! I have more than 25 Chrome Windows and 250 tabs open. How do academics handle google/mozilla/firefox/whatever TABS? I want to keep things open so I don't forget, I open a window with tabs for each project/class, but even my students say my internet windows give them anxiety.

Important article! I study how wildlife is depicted on social media, BUT we shouldn't ignore how domestic animals are treated. Please don't like, or give full view, to social media posts of animals that may be distressing the animal. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @cassiefreund.bsky.social

So... Republicans think that other countries should be "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps" and not needing our help, yet I'm talking to incoming Princeton students who have EARNED the right to study here and will go back and help their countries, and they can't get visas at US Embassies? 🤔

@dranipermana.bsky.social Hi! Thank you for your response! I knew different sites used different terms for this movement - I’d mostly heard tree surfing, If you’ve got any short clips I can make into a gif or put on loop, I would love it! AndreaLD@princeton.edu

It is SO hard to find gifs of primates in the WILD (not pets), NOT INTERACTING WITH HUMANS. My research shows that the more we feature people handling wildlife, the more likely the public is to want them as pets or to have a similar experience. Google searches = 💔😢. Can anyone share a vid of ...

Today I wanted to see exactly how much crime undocumented immigrants commit. It turns out less than 1/2 of the crime (adjusted to population size) that US citizens commit. What I found equally interesting is that the US GOVERNMENT KNOWS THIS, it was published here: docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/...

Scientists are unfairly and devastatingly seeing their grants cut and careers thrown into uncertainty, yet are still working 24/7 to continue their research, treat patients, talk to journalists, advocate with elected officials, and keep the public informed about potential threats. Absolute heroes!

I made a risky decision yesterday that I'm proud of. I asked a Princeton funder if I could revise my application so that, instead of me going to do fieldwork this summer, I could hire 3 undergrads instead. So many students aren't finding internships or work - now I can help. #academia #anthropology

So now we’re going after people who paid taxes in good faith and just ignoring the millionaires and billionaires who don’t? The country I want to live in is one where people work hard and contribute to the economy-not where bloated celebrities to walk the line of illegality to go after brown People.

Hey, smart people - I’m trying to help people in need and those being abused by the administration as much as I can. Do we know if there are populations of immigrants without documents who have not had the measles vaccine? If so, any ideas on how to get that to them since US idiots are anti-vax?

Hey Blusky community, our little dog Milano needs help. I’m embarrassed- we’ve run out of $ to treat him. He was a caged puppy mill dog who then suffered paralysis - we got the surgery, PT, everything - & he walked!2y later, something is happening again and we need an MRI. gofund.me/1258a294

Does anyone here have experience with dogs having hydrated disc extrusion or IVDE? Our little guy was paralyzed from the neck down (c4-c5) for a bit 2 years ago and made around 90% recovery. His proprioception is getting bad again - worried it’s returning. I’ve read it can recur, what happens next?

Am I a bad person??? I’ve started to post the horrible things the Trump administration does on social media, and tag the few Trump supporters I know, asking if this is what they voted for. Imo people need to be aware that their choices have serious consequences, even if not directly to them.

Dear world, I am so sorry for what is happening today, and what will happen in the future. There are a lot of good people left in this country, and we will do all we can to stop any horrors coming from this White House both within our borders and beyond

Well, friends, on Monday we will re-enter a Trump presidency. I’m terrified. Have you thought about what your “lines” are? What has to happen before you “take action”, and what does that look like? I don’t think Canada is the escape route I hoped it would be.

If anyone you know needs to understand how insidiously Naziism started, how a dangerous and deadly hatred of the “others” creeps in, but they won’t/can’t talk about politics, try watching Swing Kids (1993) or Jojo Rabbit (2019) with them. These both get the point across without you needing to say it

Wanna feel old? Yesterday, my husband’s son came home after exams and said “I think I’ve hurt my hand. It feels like it got a cramp like the fingers got pulled together.” I replied “Was one of your exams hand written and not on the computer?” “Yeah” “Ok, that’s totally normal.”

Can someone explain finances of acad journals that might justify authors having to (1) pay to publish, (2) never get royalties, (3) peer review for free, and (4) submit a meticulously formatted article in whatever style the journal wants…despite them having editors? I need to explain to undergrads.
