This was a fantastic episode of the Cautionary Tales podcast about one woman’s fight to keep Thalidomide off the market. Even if you know the story, you may not know how the current secretary of HHS got almost all the facts wrong when he discussed it. https://overcast.fm/+AA5K6ZqrU5A

I can’t enable the “save scroll position between app launches” option because I chose the annual pro option and only the monthly option appears.

Same. 🤬

This is one of the absolute best resources out there for science teachers to use to help students visualize and understand scientific processes. It was a godsend during the pandemic when in-person labs were not possible. And it's free for all to use. So disappointing. 🧪🎢 ⚛️ 🥽 🍎 #WithoutNSF #SaveNSF

I just learned that The Organization for Physics at Two-Year Colleges had its funding terminated by NSF today.

This is absolutely gut-wrenching.

Someone help me make sense of how hurting physics education at community colleges is making America great.

Thank you!!

This is, in fact, untrue.

Appeals and lawsuits are viable options.

I wouldn't be surprised if NSF didn't release another dollar for the rest of the year at this rate.

All models are wrong, but some are useful?

One of the grossest things I’ve observed of the Trump administration is the pretense of fighting antisemitism to advance their racist ideologies. Thank you for writing this.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard (Gift Article) An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

DuPage Dems Chair here… we’re leading in 48 of 49 partisan races and only down in the one by 35 votes. Several of our townships have never had an elected Dem, and it’s sweep after sweep tonight.

imagine laws, but for rich people

still not too late

Booker.

Ha! Same. (also, lots of great actors from many tv shows.)

Today is two-source sound wave interference day in class. 🎢 All day I hear students say “deconstructive” - a word I have never uttered once in my life. 😆🤣

😝

I feel like the 24hr convention is much more widely used than the MN/NN nonsense.
