More than half of all academics report the current EOs are impacting their productivity & >90% report low confidence in the government. Most alarming we are at greatest risk of losing scholars with minoritized identities. Great (& fast) summary of concerns in higher ed by @lluaces.bsky.social et al.

Ugh devastating for those hoping NSF funds will support their grad school stipend 🥲 These applications are the culmination of so much hard work, sweat and tears.

Of an institution-wide culture that supports return to exercise. Overall, results were positive, although this should be tempered given the lack of control group and high attrition in questionnaire completion. Future studies are needed to understand the impact on clinicians & patient care. (6/6)

I also think the other (no idea how to fix) problem is that receiving a diagnosis likely has an impact similar to the Barnum effect, impacting people’s narratives of their own mental health and therefore their responses to a study, again leading to repetition of existing models. 3/3
