With the level of disruption caused by the attacks on USAID, this is a reminder that the same people propose to end US funding to the World Bank and IMF. Feels like another extreme jolt to the international development world looms. www.project2025.observer

New blog post! After archiving USAID data last week, I decided to play around with and recreate parts of the ForeignAssistance dot gov dashboard with #QuartoPub and #ObservableJS. I learned a ton about D3 projections and making pretty Javascript plots #dataskyence www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled. Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security. This is absolutely an act of sabotage.

At $190 per person per year, US foreign aid costs less than a Netflix subscription. It's one of the key ways to help people in dire need worldwide. Walking away from that signals a retreat from global responsibility.

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

Without immediate nationwide livestock testing and isolation, expanded wastewater surveillance, and rapid vaccine distribution to at-risk populations, we risk repeating the catastrophic delays of COVID-19.

Men may behave more aggressively than they would want to if they wrongly believe this is what other men (and women) view as « manly » - not crying or using violence to get respect. Here is recent experimental evidence on this from Rio de Janeiro. #EconSky #gender blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...

If you're using your own domain name as your BlueSky handle, I'll follow you immediately. "foo.bsky.social" feels the same as "foo@gmail.com" to me. Gets the job done, but looks clunky. If you already have a domain (you should), set it up as your handle: bsky.social/about/blog/4...
