🌟 A star is born!

Behind the curtain of dust and gas in these “Cosmic Cliffs” are previously hidden baby stars, now uncovered by Webb. We know — this is a show-stopper. Just take a second to admire the Carina Nebula in all its glory: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

Not one of the two dozen states with laws on the books restricting abortion access offers paid family leave, and eight of them have opted out of expanding Medicaid coverage, which covers pregnancy through postpartum for low-income Americans. https://t.co/6YFMqqoKVp

“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of a sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”

This work was not led by NIST. It was led by @jovialjoy, @rajiinio, and @timnitGebru. Really disappointed to see this @60Minutes segment. Joy says she spoke to the producers for many hours and yet they still chose not to feature her work.
