Kristina Olson and I have a truly incredible advisee who won an NSF but had no luck on clinical psych PhD applications this round. Anyone able to consider another candidate this late in the process? Trust me, you won't regret it!

If you look at who had early insight into MAGA they were either historians, philosophers & theorists (who all share humanistic historical training) or cultural critics & journalists outside the academy who aren't blinded by some big ahistorical wonkish theory or data mania
Universities around the world have reported seeing an uptick in applications from U.S.-based researchers, who face an increasingly uncertain climate under President Donald Trump’s administration. scim.ag/4bX3LzQ
"The language that is being used has a specific resonance, which, historically, has been used to change regime type. It is important that the rights of human beings were violated. It is important that the rule of law was ignored. It is important that the executive is trying to…
