The National Science Foundation, a major government funder of basic science research, is being shaken up with over 1,000 grants already terminated and the White House looking to halve its budget.

Good news, meine #IOPsych freunde! They can't terminate your NSF grants if you don't have any!
Our field's inability to attract significant grant funding finally pays off.
Who's the loser now, psychopharmacology nerds @apadiv28.bsky.social?

I considered other names for my band:
Hugo and the Statistical Outliers
Hugo and the False Positives
Hugo and the Null Hypotheses
Hugo and the Gas Light Orchestra
Hugo and the Placebos
Hugo and the Unconditioned Stimuli
My band hated all of them for some reason.

Hey, Adam? People are being murdered in the street and others are being dragged away to concentration camps. Does organizational psychology have anything to say about that? Or are you only here for the feel-good sound bites?
Charisma is overvalued. Character is undervalued.

Question 1 of 1
"Do you think you should be the leader?"
Choose your answer:
A. Yes
B. No
Scoring: Count the # of A and B answers. If the # of A answers is greater than 0, you should definitely NOT be the leader.

It's very simple:
Committee: "Do you want to be the academic Dept Chairperson?"
Person 1: Yes!
Person 2: No!
Comm: "Person 2 you are now the new Dept Chair."
Person 2: "No! I refuse! You can't make me!" Runs for the door.
Person 1: "But I have so many ideas!"
Comm: "Exactly."
