I teach Physics at Illinois Wesleyan, a nice, small liberal arts college. My (serious) research is routinely rephrased in terms of (playful) sci-fi references.

#ITeachScience Today is the International Day of Light, where we celebrate combining "hands-on" with "minds-on" experience early on, for our multi-talented, multi-interested students: https://t.co/yRtph2hLwn via @YouTube

Amazing day at @IL_Wesleyan where President Sheahon Zenger accepted a gift and announced creation of the Fisher Center for Interdisciplinary Quantum Science & Engineering.

Thank you to Ann & Alan Fisher for making this fantastic gift that will impact future generations. They are leaving a legacy and as Dr. Jaggi noted “Legacy is not what you leave behind, it’s what you set in motion.”

I serve on the IWU Board of Trustees with Ann and appreciate their generosity.

Remarks were offered by @GovPritzker along with @IllinoisEDC’s Chief Quantum Officer Preeti Chalsani along with IWU leadership.

Quantum will have a major impact on manufacturing so I got to wear my @IMA_Today hat as well!!

@IWUCoachJW The support made available through donations to this center will greatly enhance the ways in which we can support our multi-talented, multi-interested students. The future is ours

[Gabe Spalding @MQMLab]

Woot!

#AAPT has released a statement on the dismissal of the National Science Board. We are dismayed by the Administration’s decision. Access statement here ➡ https://t.co/7qfTo3dz9o #NSB #NSF

@cormacsaunders8 @IWU_CoachK @josh_laurie @IWU_Baseball Welcome to our community

[Gabe Spalding @MQMLab]

Multiple sources indicate that all 24 members were fired. As Science comments, this is just the Trump Administration's "latest move to erase NSF’s independence:"

The National Science Board was fired today. The Administration has been impounding funds allocated by Congress, impacting critical programs for the educational pipeline that gives us scientists (REUs) and science teachers (Noyce Scholarships). ADD GUARDRAILS #ITeachPhysics

[Gabe Spalding @MQMLab]

We need to convey that behind so much of what we all depend upon, in the modern world, is an interconnected web of science and technology, requiring shared stewardship. Take the opportunity to share stories that illustrate both local impact ...and the bigger picture.

[AAPT @AAPTHQ]

Members and staff of AAPT and AAS are on Capitol Hill today advocating for science and STEM education funding! Join them by requesting a meeting with your local congressional office: https://t.co/ZIpPzeGu9M #WeekofAction #SaveScience 🔭

Today is #WorldQuantumDay so, naturally, my gift to IWU celebrates Illinois Wesleyan University for its pioneering 11-course concentration in Quantum Science & Technology, and the explosive growth we have seen in associated student opportunities. It's a great day to be a Titan.
