NEW: In March the White House released an FY27 budget request that zeroed out the National Science Foundation's directorate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). For months it was unclear what would happen. Now, with FY26 over, the damage to SBE is coming to light. My reporting:

Yesterday was Mengyan’s last day after 12 months as a visiting PhD student in my lab. She helped me see new connections between executive function, math, and social-emotional competence, broadening our work in ways that will last. I learned so much from her and will miss her dearly. ❤️

It’s wild to me that 6 years ago people were absolutely apoplectic about schools using Zoom. They INSISTED that schools needed to be open, despite the health risks, because it was so important for kids to be in traditional classes. Now they are promoting this.

Often my academic friends ask how they can help when they learn how Texas is restricting teaching and denying tenure. The answer: Join AAUP. Your dues—small as they are (~$30)—help build collective power to fight for legislation, policy, and in the courts for students, faculty, & staff. Join us!

“When the Knicks won the NBA Cup this season, Brunson devised a plan to make sure that the peripheral people in the Knicks organization—medical staff, locker-room attendants, etc.—received a portion of the money that the players get for winning the in-season tournament. This is who Brunson is.” 🎁

“It is different because New York’s mass unifying events tend to imply unbearable tragedy: 9/11, Sandy, Covid. Maybe the disorientation of this championship run was that shared experiences in the city were allowed to be good, gleeful, uncomplicated.“

Another handful of sand in the gears: Researchers cannot serve on a panel *at all* if anyone from their institution has submitted to that panel. Recusing themselves for the proposal itself is no longer sufficient. This is needless, but will certainly slow things up even further.

Excited to share that I'll be giving a keynote at IMBES in September. The talk asks a simple question: Are we measuring children's cognition, or the interaction between cognition and context? Looking forward to sharing (and hopefully generating discussion) in San Diego.
