New: Social science societies and researchers are suing NSF to block its dismantling of the Social, Behavioral and Economic sciences (SBE) directorate. The lawsuit argues that, without a presidentially-appointed director and the National Science Board, NSF lacks the authority to eliminate SBE.

Doctor here. AOC is right, Trump has obvious signs and symptoms of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia. It is the type of dementia that causes disinhibition and cognitive issues while preserving memory. The media is complicit in not pursuing this. Utter hypocrisy.

The Trump administration's effort to eliminate the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences "is a disservice to the American public and a crushing blow to the behavioral and brain sciences," said one expert behind a new lawsuit.

This is precisely what is happening in my workplace in nonprofit social service/behavioral health. The leader does not have a higher degree in nonprofit management or human services, instead has MBA. We are hemorrhaging from poor business practices that are taking away from human connection.
