The Philly City Council hearing on Drexel’s sudden and increasingly inexplicable closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences is this coming Monday 10/26 from 2-5pm at City Hall! Time for real answers. Time to #SaveTheAcademy. The dinos can’t go, so we need to show up for them! 1/2

Since this post:
-Flyers had the worst start in franchise history with 9 straight losses
-Ariel Hukporti tore his Achilles, out for the season
-Jalen Hurts is full of blood clots and the team nearly killed him by flying him overseas
-Eagles still haven't won a game since

[real danny brière @chefbriere]

The Philadelphia Eagles have not won a game since Drexel University closed the Academy of Natural Sciences. Do with this information what you will

They're even showing the building on the damn broadcasts !!!

[Dan Solomon 🦖🦕 @FuzzyDanSo]

I’m just gonna say - back when the Academy of Natural Sciences museum was open and cheering for the Eagles, we were winning games - even the Super Bowl. How many games have the Eagles won since Drexel shut down the Academy on September 27th? #drexelcurse #savethemuseum

Can't tell if this counts under the ANSP curse or if this is more of a Phillies type situation

Just in: Sacramento Kings guard Ben Simmons is believed to have sustained a torn Achilles tendon at practice Sunday, sources tell ESPN. A suspected season-ending injury for Simmons after rejuvenated and impressive training camp and preseason performances.

In Philadelphia we just dig them out of the ooze and make them our sports mascots

Chicago is great but its problems are obvious: it was built over soggy marshland and, to this day, ancient amphibians, pale salamanders the size of train cars and toads the size of houses, slumber in the soft mud beneath the water table. One day, those monsters will wake up.

Breaking: After consultations with numerous doctors and experts that went into Saturday, the #Eagles are placing quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve, sources tell @AdamSchefter and me.

Hurts is now out for the foreseeable future. More information coming…

Breaking: #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is out for Sunday due to a superficial blood clot.

Full statement from the #Eagles on QB Jalen Hurts:

“On Thursday, October 8th, Jalen visited the training room after practice requesting treatment for his calf. He informed the medical staff he had been cleated during the Rams game on October 4th. This was his first treatment session for the calf injury following the game, after having practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Jalen received treatment, practiced in full, and was added to the practice report.

“Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team’s flight to London and walkthrough. The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia. 

“Jalen played without limitation in the game Sunday, received treatment on Monday and Tuesday, and practiced in full on Wednesday, as reflected in the practice report. Throughout our time in London and this week, we have remained in communication with the league office regarding the matter.  

"On Wednesday night, a follow-up ultrasound revealed movement in the small blood clot. Jalen will be out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers as we determine the appropriate course of treatment. His health and safety are our highest priority.”

The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia was essential for my development as a scientist and we cannot let it go away. Let’s pressure Drexel University to keep it open
