Shout out to the National Academy of Sciences for spending the past two years finding excuses to capitulate to Trump and Vought’s bullshit, instead of taking a stand for what you knew damn well was right.

New paper out in our special collection of Evolutionary Human Sciences on scientific racism, by philosopher Joanna Karolina Malinowska.
The paper describes "epistemic laundering" - how methodologically flawed claims about race continue to circulate in scientific venues despite repeated criticism

Les sciences sociales sont durement attaquées par le RN. Que personne ne soit dupe : leur projet est bel et bien de détruire complètement le champs scientifique français des sciences sociales. Mais nous ne les laisserons pas faire.

Last month, NSF extended its unbroken streak of Nobel laureates in economics who received agency funding to an astonishing 30 years.
But in FY26, the agency eliminated new grants in economics—and many other social sciences. Mike Woodford, one of the new laureates, says NSF is 'playing with fire'.

US social sciences face existential crisis after NSF cuts
The US National Science Foundation is a major funder of economics and archaeology research but in 2026 awarded no new grants in those disciplines.

dont think people outside the social sciences know how disastrously the industry has been fucked. beyond just feds and research grantees like universities, contractors like Abt, Mathematica, Mitre, and RTI have had massive layoffs. fed firings and contract/grant terminations were all illegal
I would like some effort to adress the careers and lives of people I know fucked up by illegal cutting of research funding the last two years. Put Vought on the fucking stand.

‘Plans to turn British Library’s science and social sciences reading rooms into pay-to-use co-working spaces have divided those who use the space’
As a regular BL user, gonna say this hasn’t ‘divided’ anyone. It’s an awful idea that shouldn’t come to pass
But that it’s even mooted speaks volumes
