I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Full color on this photo because Dr. King isn't ancient history!!!!!
We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...

Are you working in the personalized treatment/ precision medicine space?
If so my co-editors & I would love to review your work for a new SPECIAL ISSUE in Behavior Therapy on personalization in mental health.

I don’t want to see “experts say Trump can’t pardon a state conviction.”
That’s like “experts say sun rises in east, and some scientists claim water is two hydrogen atoms attached to an oxygen atom.”
It’s just a fact.
He CANNOT do this.
And the media DAMN well better get their coverage right.
This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.
South Floridians from Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela expecting to become U.S. citizens this week learned instead that their naturalization ceremonies had been canceled after the Trump administration issued a sweeping directive aimed at halting immigration from so-called high-risk countries.
How it turned out @ APCAM AND Psychonomics. My trainees did a great job presenting about misophonia and music, Dylan and Isabella pictured. Rose and David did great too! My own poster had the wrong degrees of freedom so clearly I’m not setting the best example 🙃
Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the widely used physiological measures in psychophysiological research. But with over 100 indices to choose from, how do we know which ones to use?
In our latest paper, we take a data-driven approach to help answer this.

On this Veterans Day, more than any before, let us remember the valiant service of Black, Hispanic, Navajo, Japanese and other non-white Americans who fought bravely for the ideals of a country that failed to live up to them, and whose legacy a racist GOP is desperately trying to erase.
"It's a Good Life" continues to be the best representation of our current state of governance.
First, it was the soybean farmers.
Second, it is now the beef producers. I remember in the first Trump Administration, Wisconsin led the country in family farm bankruptcies caused by Trump’s tariff wars (Canada enacted milk countermeasures).

The reason why the Supreme Court is losing credibility to the district court judges is that the district court judges, whose expertise is grounded in factual reality, have decided to accord the government no presumption of regularity (because they are lying liars who lie).
BREAKING from PP
We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*
The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:
Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer
More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

Pressure to reject the compact should come from all sides:
Alumni, students, current employees, AND anyone who engages with people or work from the institution, high school students looking to attend, etc.
We say NO.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.
Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully
in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

This rule would have meant I couldn't do my Ph.D. in America.
I did do it in America. Became a professor. 12 thriving U.S. labs are now headed by trainees from my research lab. Like me, they are all working hard to enrich American knowledge and society.
With this self-harming rule, none of that.
I have found a lot of use for Melinda Cooper’s concept of the anti-social state: a government that exists only to extract wealth and inflict violence, and dismantles all its pro-social and life-enabling functions. www.dissentmagazine.org/online_artic...
Again, this whole letter accusing Lisa Cook of mortgage fraud was built on most Americans not understanding their mortgages: as noted by @cbowers.bsky.social, “almost all mortgages have occupancy clauses” and they can get modified. 👋
It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion…
… and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines.
Infuriating.
UNLV's MRI facility is close to completion and we are now searching for an MRI Technologist. Please help me spread the word!

Still my kaiju-loving son's favorite part of the movie. It was shades of Shin Godzilla.
So assuming this story is correct -- and the WSJ reporter is excellent -- Trump's chief negotiator on Ukraine is meeting with Putin about how to end the war while also scouting sites for a possible Trump hotel in Moscow.

I'd highly recommend @andrew.heiss.phd course--Data Visualization with R.
Reading materials, slides, lecture videos, examples, code, etc. are all posted for free on his website.
Hi hello!
This is fascism with a side of Lysenkoism!
Hope that helps!
The Republican Party has moved beyond the ordinary political incentives into a total political destruction of the federal administrative state. Opposition might be too mild of a word because it presupposes a willingness to negotiate. Cutting half of the Department of Education in 1 day is the goal.
