Down with diversity in 2024?
Since the December 5, 2023, Congressional hearing into antisemitic harassment at Penn, Harvard, and MIT, I was shocked to learn how universities, large and small, public and private, have been hijacked by extreme right-wing leaders connected directly or indirectly to the GOP. Examples include: Youngstown State University bypassed the normal search process to select its new president,

As

Bridging the Representation Gap in Biomedical Research
“We hope that students come out of our program feeling like they’re part of a community. Many of us feel inadequate or struggle in some way during graduate school—it can be a challenging time. I want to build a community that our students can always come back to for support,” says Elana Ehrlich, Ph.D., the co-director of the Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program (B2D) at Towson University in Towson, Maryland, alongside Michelle Snyder, Ph.D..
The Towson B2D is one of several NIGMS-supported B2Ds, which are dedicated to developing a diverse pool of well-trained biomedical scientists who will transiti...

The Lonely Epidemic: Social Isolation and Technology
Alarming effects have been found from recent digital technologies on social connections and mental health. The Surgeon General issued a highly publicized advisory on loneliness and another on youth, both replete with evidence of the harm done by social media and the internet generally.

While the harm done by digital media to many people has been well demonstrated, there are also people who thrive on digital connections, particularly people from marginalized groups who have trouble finding each other in physical settings). The Surgeon General advisory on youth poin...

Mindlessness
Academy Health is the rather oddly named society for health services researchers. They sent me a press release which I excerpt: Today, the House Appropriations Committee released a
breathtakingly reckless bill that decimates federal research, science,
and medicine programs, and puts the health of all Americans at risk. It
is so extreme that many pundits presume it has zero chance of becoming
law, but that very extremism requires that we respond quickly and
unequivocally. . . . " This bill would eliminate the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) in its entirety. AHRQ supports r...
