So thrilled to see this paper in print at PSPR—I propose a new theoretical model of self-protection motivation that reimagines how people might think, feel, and act when navigating self-threats. I enjoy this sort of theoretical work & excited to share it! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I also got this, is it not spam or phishing? I am so afraid to click links in email these days, would be nice to go back to snail mail, tbh! I assume when I post something publicly that it is available for LLMs, for better or worse. Is there a consent form for you to participate?

I have heard some keep these cut outs in a lab notebook, along with a record of each decision. I cut and paste at the end of documents or into comments, but this sometimes loses context. Still, it helps with letting go.

I love em dashes—they frequently help me provide context, alternatives, or emphasis. Likely, large language models use em dashes because of their popularity in training corps. Nonetheless, they are often over used, and LLMs may not know how people truly feel about their training corps….

I think it could be time for this to happen. As someone trying to get post doc funding for DEI research right now, this scares me a lot. But, the federal grant system depends on untold volunteer hours. Also, the CDC journals banning “woke”—do not review for them!

Give this a read folks! "Since 1980, Congress has mandated that the agency [NSF] seek to broaden participation of underrepresented groups, including women and other minorities, within STEM. 'The [Trump] orders are illegal,' says an NSF employee. 'The statutory framework of NSF is being violated.'"

If I, for example, submitted a grant examining processes underlying how people with disabilities are treated differently at work (broad example) and it is deemed in violation, do you think I would get the justification language for its rejection?
