Since hegemons declared the pandemic "over" early in the pandemic, I have seen article after article complaining that students aren't doing well and intimating it's because "lowering standards" during the pandemic harmed them.

Holy crap, what a load of ableist cow chips. #Ableism #HigherEd #Education

Have any good investigative journalists done pieces on how the slant of donors, the power of large universities "strategic communications" departments, and the evisceration of newsrooms have affected how the public gets access to reliable scientific research and information in the public interest? @academicchatter

Let's get this @academicchatter moving with a question every academic can chime in on:

What are the top websites/blogs you go to for news of what's going on in your field?

@ml@ecoevo.social avatar

I wish I had a one-stop news shop on the web for the kind of plant breeding/pomology information I'm after.

For information about plant science in general, @PlantTeaching tends to be my best source. @plantscience

@Cosmosis @academicchatter Basic is fine! It might be new to students in your field and it might be new to members of the public who want to start reading up out of interest.

This sculpture is the only shovelware I approve of.

School has kept me so busy that I did not get a chance to go on a road trip to find superblooms, but have these Eschscholzia californica blooming near Shovel Gateway at UC Davis Arboretum. https://arboretum.ucdavis.edu/blog/why-used-shovels

@msquebanh One of Davis' strengths is its public art and this is a really good one. Plus the poppies are really cooperating...

As usual with Tony, you should expect "crude language".

Please boost in the hopes of reaching someone who can answer:

Can someone direct me to a form and/or a person responsible for ensuring ADA compliance (not a defensive "cover your ass" thing, but actually caring about accessibility) at USDA?

Thank you!

I invite you to read my pinned tweet about academic misconduct and how "seriously" UC took it, then contrast it to what it does to students engaging in peaceful civil disobedience with the objective of defunding genocide.

I don't know how US higher ed comes out of this with its prestige intact. It really shouldn't, in my opinion. There has to be accountability from the most powerful.

Tired of coming home with a case of "conference crud"? Want to enjoy great talks about science and accessibility? SciAccess is an accessible conference that started among astronomers, but also has talks that are of interest to folks in STEM in general as well.

And you can still register for it and attend despite it kicking off tomorrow!

I feel like there should be a way for researchers to anonymously answer the question:

What do you think it's imperative to study right now that isn't being studied because the "new hotness" in your field is funding something else?

What is being funded, but is underfunded?

Making "PhD student" a metonym for "grad student" is one of my raging peeves. Normally I'd correct them about it, but I just saw who the sponsor is.

You can have it.

The documentary "Berkeley in the Sixties" is a must-watch for how student activism revulsed the rich white supremacists in this country, making them slash education funding.

A friend recommended I read "After the Ivory Tower Falls" for more on this. (It's on sale right now, too.) https://www.harpercollins.com/products/after-the-ivory-tower-falls-will-bunch?variant=40957097639970

"that would put more conservatives on the faculty at their alma maters, or to bring more pro-business outside speakers to campus.

The new corporate-friendly environment that Powell conjured up - with outposts of conservative ideas that were becoming known as 'think tanks', a right-wing media infrastructure in print, on the radio, & maybe even on TV"
