With deeply mixed feelings, I am leaving Texas Tech University. I have loved my position, colleagues, and students at TTU for five years. I am heartbroken that Chancellor Creighton and the Board of Regents has implemented illegal, politically motivated censorship of teaching and research.

Texas Tech is expanding its prohibition on "gender and sexual orientation" topics to include faculty research and student theses and dissertations. Our chancellor wants to censor the truth because he knows it topples the hateful ideology of MAGA. Knowledge is power, so they plan to destroy it.

Texas Tech System leader cancels academic programs “centered on” sexual orientation, gender identity
Chancellor Brandon Creighton directed provosts to phase out the programs and ordered universities to recognize only “two human sexes.”

Texas Tech chancellor limits academic mentions of transgender and nonbinary identities at five universities
Advocacy groups say the new state law, presidential executive order and gubernatorial letter Tedd Mitchell cited do not prohibit classroom discussions of particular LGBTQ+ identities.

As PI of a grant on this list, I'm proud of the work we're doing to help ALL students reach their academic goals with evidence-based strategies in the classroom. This work is important not only for students and instructors, but for society at large. We will not stop. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

Oh my goodness, I am excited by this one! Study strategies are so important for student success, so we wondered, what influences how students study? Is it related to how they view their beliefs and making errors while studying? We found yes! doi.org/10.1186/s405...

Closing Duke's Herbarium: A fear of long-term climate commitment?
Without the Herbarium, and support for future faculty in biodiversity research, Duke’s reputation in this area will wither on the vine.

I can confirm the appalling news that Duke intends to close its 800K specimen herbarium as part of an embarrassing plan to delete its position as a leader in biodiversity research. This is despite successful fundraising efforts with a donor secured to save the herbarium.

This week I had the incredible honor of being invited to visit Carol Dweck's lab and talk with her about my research! It was so inspiring to meet her and discuss mindset research!

If you’ve seen me at a conference in the past 3 years you’ve seen me talk about this one project ad nauseum. Finally, after years of talking your ears off about it, being a work in progress, and a pre-print, it’s finally a grown-up (open access) publication! 🤩 www.lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/...
