Good info below. I had of course a mix of accepts/rejects too. (Always do) Also, you might need to wait to login and see reviews. Everyone trying to get into the system and it’s not the most cutting edge submission management system.

Here’s a strategy: 1) establish the frames, what problems will these changes cause, how will they impact communities; 2) inspire people to use those frames to tell their own stories of their families or communities are impacted; 3) amplify those stories.

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities. It's deadly to the US economy. The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

Congrats for publishing in nature, but hasn’t this been established since the 1980s by lave, saxe, carraher, and others and already launched an entire field?

President Trump issued an executive order to find out what education funds he can legally rescind based on curriculum he doesn’t like. Existing law already answers that question —nothing.

On Monday I am the emcee for the Stanford Accelerator for Learning’s EdTech summit. The next day, I get to be an attendee at Google’s AI and education event. Feels like being in a wedding and then attending a wedding after.

Bailing on bird app months ago was great but feel like I am missing up-to-the-moment updates from key folks. Going to try to actually use my Bluesky account, but will need some time to decide if I stick with it and if this ends up being for work stuff, my irreverence, or both. 🫥
