This is ridiculous. The only avenue for fellowships for international scholars has been the K99. It was already so hard to get, and now there is no way for them to come and train and build a career in the US. It will decimate our ability to recruit the best scholars around the world.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

New paper from me, out soon in Behavior Research Methods: I'm a lil bit obsessed with good online recruitment and the result is this side-quest paper that made use of data we had collected that recruited people online in three ways (met them on Zoom, validated their email, and Prolific). 🧵>>

This a very exciting piece of work from @jonasdora.bsky.social . Jonas presents a mathematical and computational theory of affect regulation and alcohol use. This is a major advance in the field.

As an international postdoc on a temporary visa, this was the only NIH grant I was able to apply for at the time (and I was lucky enough to get it on my second attempt). I'd like to think this relatively small investment (relative to their budget) in me had a pretty decent ROI for NIH so far :)
