Teamsters president at the RNC: "We need corporate welfare reform. Under our current system, massive companies like Amazon, Uber, Lyft and Walmart take zero responsibilities for the workers they employ. These companies offer no real health insurance, no retirement benefits, no paid leave, relying on underfunded public assistance. And who foots the bill? The individual taxpayer. The biggest recipients of welfare in this country are corporations, and this is real corruption."

@jdpereira Answer: We live in a country that does not offer universal pre K, and that underpays grad students, posdotcs, and early career professionals….with no social safety nets what is expected?

Hi @johniadarola, thank you for covering what happened in Ecuador. As an Ecuadorian we are devastated and feel hopeless that our beautiful country is drowning in violence. We were rooting for someone to fight against corruption. If you have question about Ecuador reach out

@TheDamageReport @johniadarola @AdrienneLaw Did something happen?

Last night during the banquet, new groundfish songs were suggested, but alas they were unable to surpass the original rockfish anthem 😂 @wg23_ak #WGC23 #groundfish #rockfish #sciart #scicomm

Conference kicked off with the groundfish anthem lead by Milton Love! What would be attending a scientific conference if we don’t make our own fun and find ways to amuse ourselves? 😝#WGC23 #groundfish #rockfish @wg23_ak

If you are attending the #WGC23 and you are hungry, you are in luck! It’s meat, fruits and coffe/tea being served this morning at the conference!! #groundfish #rockfish #conference @wg23_ak

Complication of research on #ADHD
-It’s a neurodevelopmental disorder
-it’s herederary
-they have identified genes that produce less neurotransmitters
- studies have focused mostly on white males
-there is discrimination in diagnosis & lack of acess to treatment for minorities
