@dangaristo.bsky.socialReposted by @drtomori.bsky.socialNEW: In March the White House released an FY27 budget request that zeroed out the National Science Foundation's directorate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). For months it was unclear what would happen. Now, with FY26 over, the damage to SBE is coming to light. My reporting:
@nbedera.bsky.socialReposted by @drtomori.bsky.socialI spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted.
I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

@gravelinfluencer.bsky.socialReposted by @drtomori.bsky.socialICE took two more people from my local courthouse today. The wife of one of the guys who was taken showed up shortly after. She just had surgery. She was worried about paying rent and feeding her kids. This is happening *every day* in Massachusetts. Lives are being destroyed every single day.
@alondra.bsky.socialReposted by @drtomori.bsky.social“The transcript of a Nov. 14 interview she gave also contained more definitive language that the police omitted from her statement: ‘I can say with 100 percent confidence I was raped.’” This is enraging and unacceptable.

@nbedera.bsky.socialReposted by @drtomori.bsky.socialEarlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Measles outbreaks this year and last could leave thousands vulnerable to other infectious diseases.

@davidho.bsky.socialReposted by @drtomori.bsky.socialI don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.
@brian-goldstone.bsky.socialReposted by @drtomori.bsky.socialSo grateful to @jcollins.bsky.social for this interview. It was an especially raw conversation, coming just a day after I learned that Maurice had died.

@drtomori.bsky.socialmaybe not only about the science. controlling science has many different cascading impacts that suit the agenda.
@dangaristo.bsky.socialReposted by @drtomori.bsky.socialTo be more direct about it: OMB's budget-level cuts to science are not really about science. It can be very difficult for people (especially scientists) who are harmed by these cuts to grasp that science is really just collateral damage.
