Today's reminder that all science is political. The questions asked, who asks them, the way data are defined, the structure of analysis all impact the outcomes of scientific research. The idea of scientific neutrality is a myth. Understanding this is essential to good science.

"While expressing gratitude seems innocent enough, it is a revolutionary idea. In a consumer society, contentment is a radical proposition. Recognizing abundance rather than scarcity undermines an economy that thrives by creating unmet desires." Robin Wall Kimmerer 2013, 111

Almost 50,000 student workers across the University of California system are striking for livable wages and job security. Student workers are essential; their success is everyone's success. I stand in solidarity with the strike—despite my very small stature. #UCstrike #FairUCnow

Our campaign for a living wage launched seven months ago. Though the University refused to work with us, today Harvard University GSAS has announced it will raise the minimum compensation package for all PhD programs to $50K.

According to the ACLS, 1,100 people applied for the 60 awards from their single remaining fellowship program for general humanities research. Applications were restricted to early career untenured PhDs. Clear evidence that there isn't enough humanities research funding available.
