Wow. OceanGate, the company that owns the missing submersible, fired an employee a few years ago after he filed safety complaints against them. The employee specifically said the sub was not capable of descending to such extreme depths before he was fired.

people KNEW. people at multiple institutions—at the very least, UCL, Fermilab, and Caltech (quelle surprise)—knew that man had a track record of problematic behavior, and yet he was allowed to stay in a position where he continued to harass someone.

Three months ago I heard Salman Rushdie speak at the PEN World Voices Festival. He said: “A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can’t defuse a bomb … But we are not helpless … We can sing the truth & name the liars.” We must tell better stories than the tyrants.

Of course I want you to succeed — just enough to make me look good, not so much that I can’t take credit for your success.

Professionalism is not defined by the hairstyle you choose or the clothes you wear. It's the standard of conduct you uphold.

Being professional is about maintaining personal reliability and social respect. You strive for excellence in your actions and grace in your interactions.

the common argument that mental illness is the explanation for these massacres, cannot explain the link between misogyny and mass shootings. Misogyny — or other types of hatred — is not necessarily a diagnosable mental illness. https://t.co/1AO7g4nzk6

Some of my advice here for #scientists being interviewed by #journalists: use accessible language, include your emotions, provide your narrow slice + the field's bigger purpose, keep metaphors in your back pocket to describe your work, write chatty study titles and abstracts...

My two work modes:

Even in the worst of times, I get so much pleasure out of writing. It’s not easy but when it works it feels like I can perform magic.

Don’t forget all classes must be taught in person, but all materials must be made available online, including lectures.
