My mom went to drop off her mail at the mailbox she’s used for *decades* and found the site blocked off. The mailboxes are being ripped out. She’s 85. This is how she pays her bills. She knows this is deliberate. Santa Barbara, California.

Warning - Long tweet thread coming. I'm summing up the Harvard v. DHS complaint challenging ICE in its attempt to force F-1 students to leave the US if their courses are being offered online this fall. They lawyers did a superb job. I think you'll find this interesting.

We (scientists) need to get better at telling stories & communicating in a compact, understandable way says John Holdren. He’s right - how else can science even start to counter trite tweets & headlines in the world of social media? #AAASmtg – at Austin, TX

John Holdren is being extraordinarily blunt; not holding anything back in sharing his views on Obama and Trump administration actions regarding STEM. It's encouraging and distressing at the same time. #AAASmtg

John Holdren #AAASmtg - fed govt is not America - philanthropy, business, states step up & help fill gap. Most important step for individuals is to get involved politically - make your voice heard

Two years after publishing Origin of Species, Darwin wrote that he was "very stupid" and "hate[s] everybody and everything."
On #DarwinDay, remember that you can spur a world-changing scientific revolution and still suffer from #ImposterSyndrome.
