We are sad to see @DukesJeff move on after 14 years in FNR, but thankful for the impact he has made since his arrival in a dual FNR/biological science appointment in 2008 as well as his 8 years at the helm of the @PurdueCCRC. 👏
Gave my last @LifeAtPurdue lecture on Friday. (And @ZachSinger1 was one of the seniors attending their last Purdue lecture). Really enjoyed my time in the classroom with students from @PurdueFNR and other departments. Guessing I taught more than 5000 of them here over the years.
Today, as I was sworn in, I held in my jacket pocket copies of the ships’ manifests recorded at Ellis Island when my Great Grandfather Israel arrived in 1911 and my Great Grandmother Annie arrived in 1913.
A century later, their great grandson was elected to the U.S. Senate.
"The PGA of America Board of Directors voted tonight to exercise the right to terminate the agreement to play the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster." — Jim Richerson, PGA of America President
Since it appears GOP leaders need a reminder:
There is no “healing” from this without accountability.
And there is no “unity” with white supremacists.
You know the President’s state has devolved dangerously. If you’re too weak to do anything about it, you’re too weak to serve.
I applaud the people brave enough to leave the Trump administration now. It takes courage.
After airline flights, I too have been known to unbuckle my seatbelt moments before the aircraft has "come to a complete stop," so I have experienced this level of courage first hand.
While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.
