Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff. "Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

A) people recoil in horror when I tell them the amount of reviewing I do in a year B) sometimes I do service because, if I didn't, a person with less power would be harmed (e.g., tenure) C) women are treated very differently when we say no to these types of requests

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

I know I'm not the first person or even the millionth person to point this out; it's not even the first time *I* have said it, but this is what actual First Amendment violations look like and the fact that none of the supposed free speech warriors are saying anything about it tells us everything.

Had the adrenaline rush of giving my first (flash) talk at a conference during the #ICAR2025 seasonality & rhythms session! Pictured: me unsure of where to look and gesturing emphatically Not pictured: the panic that crossed my face when I realized I had no clue how to use the laser pointer
