Chardée Galán and colleagues investigated whether online racial discrimination exposure predicts racism-based traumatic stress symptoms in youth, and whether racial-ethnic identity beliefs moderate the association. https://t.co/nlySii2AHC

I recently read that clinicians with the highest empathy levels & patient satisfaction scores are at a higher risk of burnout. They often feel immense pressure to provide care that is beyond their human limits (both physically and emotionally).

That hit hard.

[Dr Sarah Hope Lincoln @DrSHLincoln]

I created a psych post-bac list. Would a post-doc listserv be helpful? I'm already sending them to my own students, so if you'd like emails from me about post-doc opportunities I see, please put your email in this google sheet and I'll add you to it!

TAAF Statement on Anti-Asian Attacks in NYC

[Srushti @SrushtiUn]

@obrien_emj I love this!!

[MASALA Study @masala_study]

Need more South Asian individuals to join research studies…

Dismal representation in trials (3%) and even worse in genetic studies (1%)

Hard to believe these lousy stats because SA represent 23% (1.8B) people in the world

@aidamurati @RutgersU Congratulations - I’m so excited for you!!

[Srushti @SrushtiUn]

SO happy to share I’ve received an honorable mention for my first ever grant proposal (NSF GRFP)!!

So grateful for my mentors and loved ones, because it’s a feat to even apply for such a thing. This is a win and the first step to better science - congrats to everyone!!

[Srushti @SrushtiUn]

Submitted my NSF GRFP after weeks of SO much effort (+ incredible support!) and now on a road trip to present at #SRP2024 in Canada - what a week for science!!

Among scientists applying for grants from the National Science Foundation, proposals from white scientists had the highest chances of receiving funding. Asian scientists had the lowest.https://t.co/dLBbWzKYCq by @kchangnyt

[Mood and Cognition Lab at Temple University @TUmoodcoglab]

Excited to announce that we are looking to hire two research assistants to help with our R01s investigating onset of mood disorders in adolescents! This is a great opportunity for those interested in applying to clinical psychology Ph.D. programs.

Decision tree that has been sent to Program Officers at NSF

[Darby Saxbe @darbysaxbe]

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Why are some American racial/ethnic groups seen as more "American"? In a new paper w/ @TesCharlesworth @thdevos & @banaji, we explore predictors of the American=White/Asian=Foreign stereotype and whether stereotypes have dropped over the past 17 years https://t.co/rpQBLDx5no 1/n

The CDC has removed data on sexual orientation, gender identity, and health disparities from their website.

Pages removed include:
- Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System
- Social Vulnerability Index
- Efforts to Address Racism as a Fundamental Driver of Health Disparities

Looks like NIH grant review panels have been suspended temporarily. Because it takes time to coordinate and schedule a multi-layered grant panel review from experts across the country, what seems like a short delay in review of funding applications could be the difference between survival and shuttering for many valuable research efforts.

I started my academic research lab a year before the erratic first Trump presidency and vividly remember the uncertainty of those times. The folks starting their labs now during second term are facing similar challenges. The situation is even more precarious for more established labs that don’t have stable university startup funds remaining and require external funding to continue to pay students, postdocs, & research staff to stay open.

This situation highlights that diversification of funding sources for science is good, including for the basic science that sparks so much innovation. This could mean broadening research efforts in other sectors (private for-profit or non-profit R&D).

The NIH may be the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world but over-dependence on a single sector so sensitive to political winds is bad. We need nuance and creativity in how to generate value that ensures science-driven progress. Many of us in the private sector are thinking about how to grow the pie and sustain research efforts. Our scientific ecosystem needs to be much more resilient.

If you’re an academic researcher worried about your fate, there is a pretty big world out there and a lot of ways to contribute your scientific expertise to advance solutions for humanity. You can invent them too. And if you’re a private entity, you can start to decrease dependence on publicly funded academic research for upstream discovery by expanding impactful basic science activities strategically and sharing more of the outputs openly.

Hope this message of agency resonates with those searching for solutions and a place for their energy.

The NIH Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office website has been taken down.

LGBTQ+ people are disproportionately subjected to violence, discrimination & stigma, affecting their health outcomes.

Ignoring these facts endangers us all.
