Friendly reminder: An employer may not prohibit an employee from disclosing their own wages. If your employer has a written policy or contract prohibiting salary discussions, you can report them to the National Labor Relations Board. Discussing your pay is a right.

It's here: my annual presentation on decarbonization.

There is a lot going on, and I attempt to capture it in 200 slides. Ocean heat content, deforestation, fund performance, vehicle efficiency, lighting technology, GLP-1 agonists, and much more. https://t.co/DxlE3kbl13

My tendency to say “I can do that” overshadows the more important questions of “should I do that?” or “do I have the time and mental energy to do that?”

Self-replication is not an effective model for graduate education.

Our students want to pursue a diverse range of career paths - industry, policy, outreach, communication - and it is our responsibility to equip them with the skills and knowledge they will need to be successful.

my entire undergrad 😭😭 wow it's nice to have a diagnosis

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

The hidden burden of undiagnosed ADHD is constantly needing to invent excuses in an attempt to explain or justify behavior that you don’t even understand yourself.

Good morning, LA. #CeasefireNOW #FreePalestine

Jewish protesters demanding Gaza cease-fire shut down 110 Freeway in downtown L.A. https://t.co/0n06AtsMbp

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

This disruption by Jews advocating for peace sure is hitting all the right pressure points on the sleepy privileged folks who thought they could ignore genocide.

@DanaherCorp HA this is embarrassing and gross. do better

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Weird that Danaher's stock underperformed today. I wonder what happened. @DanaherCorp #peopleoverprofits

Hey @DanaherCorp and @CepheidNews I've got a great playlist that I think you'll really enjoy while you figure out how you're going to lower the cost of your TB tests to $5! #PeopleOverProfits #timefor5 https://t.co/12VntrEwgw

Are you familiar with the printer ink business model? Sell a printer for a modest profit because you'll make the real money from forcing people to buy your ink? IT's also known as the razor blade business model.
Danaher sells its diagnostic machines at a small profit and then price gouges for tests--thus denying millions access to affordable, accurate tests for tuberculosis. And then THEY BRAG ABOUT IT TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. Just listen to @DanaherCorp CEO Rainer Blair. #PeopleOverProfits

I just heard about "yo-yo flu" where people feel sick all the time, it remits temporarily and then returns and I have to break it to folks: that's chronic illness and we've been warning you about it

HOW TO REPAIR DENIM

I think some of the disposability we see in fashion today is a result of people simply not knowing how clothes can be repaired. When things get worn out, they toss them. So, I'll do a series on how certain garments can be repaired, starting with jeans. 🧵

[Kira Fish @Milankofish]

when was this "8 hrs work, 8 hrs play, 8 hrs rest" ever a thing. we have ALWAYS been working more than 8 hrs bffr

[Kira Fish @Milankofish]

what if every worker was paid for 30 mins of commute time and as a culture we just accepted that as part of the work day. like why am i expected to spend 8 hours at work and then another hour commuting?????
