New preprint alert! We found that people on the autism spectrum found it harder than non-autistic people to understand when someone was being sarcastic or telling a prosocial lie, but they were just as good at judging whether the speaker’s emotions. Here's the link: lnkd.in/eN9_shQr

It's promotion letter writing season for academics in the US. As I'm going through my batch I thought I'd share a few things I did *not* know when I started doing this. (I've served on dept and college's PTR committees, but institutional norms may differ--I'd be interested to hear other takes!)

If you’re an SNL member, check your email account to vote for the new board of directors! You might see a familiar name among the nominees for the secretary position! ☺️

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Your regular reminder that NSF grants built the internet and helped the U.S. dominate tech.

Catching up with colleagues and I feel like "have any of your grants been terminated yet" is the new "have you had COVID yet" from 2022 and I hate it.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

We will lose cures that would be seen in the next 10-20 years. Many med schools will close. Junior faculty will exit. Education will get more expensive. Faced with 40% less funds, 40% less science yr after yr, worse every yr. This is catastrophic damage to science and health innovation

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

I built my entire future on the hope of securing NIH funding. Now, countless junior faculty like me are watching our academic dreams slip away. We’re not just losing careers—we’re losing the research breakthroughs we could have delivered. Here’s hoping this NIH crisis ends soon. #medsky #NIH

I’m into paint by numbers now to relax. It was stressful at first because I tried to stay within the lines but then I realized I’M AN ADULT and can do what I want.
