@SenTedBuddNC Research + Tourism are cornerstones of NC economy, but @realDonaldTrump is unilaterally stopping visitors. Even if world-renowned institutions vouch for an educated, talented visiting scholar, Trump says no... The US will no longer be destination for businesses.
Shame on every single elected official who sees kids shot in their schools as acceptable collateral damage for unfettered access to guns.

The State Department terminated the visas of two Duke graduate students and one alumnus over the weekend, reportedly providing no reason for the revocations. Duke Visa Services is holding an open forum this evening to answer student questions:

@SenThomTillis Super thrilled that you guys are spending your time re-renaming things instead of focusing on the hundreds of North Carolinians losing their jobs due to Trump's illegal orders. This is your constituency, and they will remember.
Hi! Update from the real world of science and research! The very smart @_brainstorm_12 presented to our @GEMINI_Research mtg today, sharing insights from her work looking at how trauma affects the brain. What does this apolitical scientific inquiry have to do with #DEI? 🧵👇🏼
In brief: When you throw out any notion of #DEI with its recent weaponization, you will get shitty science. If we don't go out of our way to include diverse populations in our studies, in our workforce, or in our communities, we will get results that only serve the majority.
Well... When applying Western-derived models that use imaging to estimate brain age in a project in South Africa, it turned out that existing tools performed pretty poorly. 📉
Your paper on bias in difference in difference estimates has triggered an investigation. The governor’s office wants to make sure this isn’t promoting DEI.
Thanks to @DukeGHI Director for this. As he says:
"Health is [...] a right of all people, no matter where they live, whether they are rich or poor, or how they identify. All of us have a role in ensuring that we do everything we can to deliver on this fundamental human right."
“Health is not political. It is a right of all people, no matter where they live, whether they are rich or poor, or how they identify.
