With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution. Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. innocenceproject.org/petitio…

Alonzo Sawyer is the 5th person—5th Black man—that we *know* has been wrongfully arrested thanks to a #FaceRecognition mis-identification. The reality is we rarely discover when this tool is used, so the real number is likely much higher. wired.com/story/face-recogni…

A well-written scientific paper does not build up suspense, it blasts the main results in at least 7 ways, starting with the title. The main results are also stated in the abstract, the introduction, the results section, the discussion, the conclusions, and of course the figures.
