[DIV28M] Scientist Spotlight: June 2011
Hello,
Please enjoy this June edition of the Scientist Spotlight!
Kelly and Sarah
-------------------------------------------
Scientist Spotlight is a monthly series that asks senior and mid-level scientists to provide information on how they choose to balance work and life responsibilities. This column is in response to an overwhelming request from Early Career Psychologists that more information (and assistance) in learning how to balance work and life be made available. We are hopeful that by reading how different scientists balance work and life goals and responsibilities, graduate students and Early Career Psychologists will be better prepared to develop methods for being successful in science while still meeting personal life goals. Overall, we hope you find this series useful and enjoyable!
Please contact Kelly Dunn (kdunn9@jhmi.edu) or Sarah Tragesser (stragesser@tricity.wsu.edu) to nominate someone to be highlighted in this series.

FABBS Board and Member Society Presidents/Reps./Executive Directors:
Senator Coburn (R-OK) released the attached report that is highly
critical of NSF. Key findings include:
· NSF has an important mission and contributes to meaningful
scientific discovery, but there are pervasive problems at the agency.
· NSF lacks adequate oversight of its grant funding, which has
led to mismanagement, fraud, abuse and lack of knowledge regarding
research outcomes.
· NSF is prone to extensive duplication within the agency and
across the federal government.
· NSF wastes millions of dollars on low-priority projects.
Recommendations include eliminating the Social, Behavioral, and
Economic Sciences Directorate (SBE) (see page 54). This is based on a
review of almost 50 awards which are briefly described in the report
(other similar awards are included in the appendix).
My preliminary analysis of these awards indicates that they are funded
by every NSF Directorate except the Directorate for Geosciences. Over
20 awards were funded by SBE (the largest portion in political science,
but crossing the disciplines). Interestingly, at least 13 of these
awards were funded by the Directorate for Computer& Information
Science and Engineering (CISE).
While these reports do not always find traction in the media, Good
Morning America ran a story this morning:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/oklahoma-sen-tom-coburn-report-shows-taxpayer-money/story?id=13689403.
The text of the story is below.
Within this context, the U.S. House is planning a hearing for June 2,
2011 on ?Social, Behavioral and Economic Science Research: Oversight of
the Need for Federal Investments and Priorities for Funding.? Myron
Gutmann, Assistant Director for NSF and head of the SBE Directorate,
will testify, among others.
A number of coalitions, scientific societies, and advocacy groups
(including FABBS) are working on the issue. We will keep in touch as
we learn more.

Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn Report Shows Taxpayer Money Spent on Robots
That Fold Laundry, Shrimp on Treadmills
By JONATHAN KARL (@jonkarl) and MATTHEW JAFFE (@JaffeMatt) May 26, 2011
You've probably heard of shrimp on the barbie, but what about shrimp on
a treadmill?
The National Science Foundation has, and it spent $500,000 of taxpayer
money researching it. It's not entirely clear what this research hoped
to establish.
But it's one of a number of projects cited in a scathing new report
fromSen. Tom Coburn, a Republican from Oklahoma, exclusively obtained
by ABC News.
It's not just shrimp on a treadmill. The foundation spent $1.5 million
to create a robot that can fold laundry. But before you try to buy one
to save some time, consider that it takes the robot 25 minutes to fold
a single towel.
The list goes on. Lots of people love to use FarmVille on Facebook, but
lots of people probably don't love the government's spending $300,000
in taxpayer money to study whether it helps build personal
relationships.
"What it says to me is, they have too much money if they're going to
spend money on things like that," Coburn said in an interview.
But there's more.
The National Science Foundation has its headquarters in Arlington, Va.,
just across the river from Washington, D.C., a building it pays $19
million a year to rent. But now that the 20-year lease is nearly up, it
has decided that it is time to move; into a new building that will cost
$26 million annually to rent.
Even gelatin wrestling has been the subject of an agency project. In
Antarctica, no less. The foundation notes that the project is the work
of contractors, not agency employees.
Whatever the case might be, Coburn said, the situation is another
example that federal spending has gotten out of control.
"We have 12 different agencies doing pure research, and we're
duplicating and we're not sharing the information across and it's
siloed," he said.
In response to Coburn's report, the National Science Foundation
launched a vigorous defense of its projects. Agency officials said they
"have advanced the frontiers of science and engineering, improved
Americans' lives, and provided the foundations for countless new
industries and jobs."
And the facts back up that statement. One agency project helped lead to
the creation of Google, while another led to the invention of bar
codes.
Will the Robot Hoedown& Rodeo lead anywhere? Stay tuned, because it's
your taxpayer money that's paying for it.

[DIV28SUPER] Division 28 Mixer at CPDD (Wed June 22 from 6-8 pm): Member Recruitment Incentives!
Hi again
At our new web site (http://www.apadivisions.org/division-28/), click on "Membership" on the top bar (or go directly to http://www.apadivisions.org/division-28/membership/index.aspx) to see our incentives for recruiting new members. There are two types of incentives, which apply to the "joiners" and to the "recruiters", respectively.
First, new members ("joiners") get first-year free membership. Importantly, this applies to ALL incoming members (across-the-board), not just early career psychologists (ECPs).
Second, current members ("recruiters") should bring a "joiner" to the Division 28 mixer, which will be held in my suite on Wed June 22 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm.
** {NB: The Westin Diplomat will not issue room numbers in advance, so unfortunately I can't tell you right now what the suite number is. I will let everyone know once we arrive in Florida. So, stay tuned to your email and social media channels!}
Bring as many "joiners" to the mixer as you can. "Joiners" should be APA members at the post-doctoral level and above but not yet Division 28 members, as well as lapsed division members who wish to renew their division membership.
Each "joiner" who submits an application for membership in Division 28 at the mixer will earn the current member one prize drawing. Current members can earn gift certificate cards – presented on the spot (let's hear it for immediate reinforcement!) – for small ($5), medium ($20) and large ($100) prizes using the famous "fishbowl procedure".
The more "joiners" you bring, the more chances to win!
Thanks for helping to bring new people on board, and we look forward to seeing you there. And please spread the word!

Hi folks
This is the first of two important announcements. (The second is coming in a moment)
Division 28 has a new web page! You can access the URL at: http://www.apadivisions.org/division-28/
Please bookmark this home page, from which you can navigate.
Because this is a democracy, we are happy to entertain your suggestions for modifications to the web site. This is (and will continue to be) a work in progress.
But for now, I wish to congratulate and thank the Executive Committee for their important contributions to this effort. Ron Wood has played an especially important role. We owe a huge debt to Dana Wakefield (Assistant Director, APA Web Site) and her team; she guided us and implemented the content that you now see.
Best wishes, Mark
