Being a new postdoc is going from being an expert is what your PhD lab DID, to being an expert in what your postdoc lab WILL DO.

The fight against fascism is alive and well. Keep it up y'all! #nokings

We will not cower, even in the face of Trump’s militarized escalation.

On Saturday, we are going to rise up all across the country in defiance of this administration’s authoritarian agenda.

I'm worried a shutdown means they surrender all power. I wish these elected officials were a stronger opposition to fascism. But I don't see a federal shutdown down slowing down the wrecking ball that Trump is.
