Hypothesis: Lockdowns saved lives
Prediction: States that locked down will have fewer deaths than neighboring states that didn't
Data: CDC all-cause mortality data
Result: States that locked down had *more* deaths per capita than those that didn't

Yes! Quadry is working on impact-driven atmospheric loss in exoplanet N body simulations. He is also the person all heads turn to in UF’s arXiv discussion, when an exoplanet expert is needed to weigh in.

So I had to comment. To bear witness to the brazenness w which white supremacy wafts through the halls of virtually every predominantly white institution in the country. I had to address the utter predictability and unoriginality, yet violent things they said. #BlackintheIvory

“Isler, the alumnus who is now a Dartmouth astrophysicist, said the professors’ ‘arguments were neither good, accurate or even creative; they reflect the banality of white supremacy embedded in the blatant lie of meritocracy.’” https://t.co/namlxmT8bZ

@SciBry @JunellieG People know who I am. I like @JunellieG’s original tweet just fine, fwiw 😉

[CODEPINK @codepink]

The media *conveniently* fails to mention that 60,000 people took to the street of Seattle in peaceful protest on Friday.

Corporate media wants to keep us divided. Don't let them.

I am genuinely amazed by a toddler’s ability/desire/capacity to listen to a single song on repeat hundreds of times in a row for weeks on end. Hakuna Matata is playing in the background of my dreams these days.

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

As police violence continue, the revolt against racism is pushing into all corners of society. Marches are spreading worldwide. Atlanta is on fire again. Confederate statues are coming down. Cases of prior killings are being reopened. BT covers it all with on-the-ground reporting

Damn, I sure got good peoples in my life. My community came thru for me. Thanks y’all! (Y’all know who you are)

[Dr Esther Odekunle @EstOdek]

Just wanted to pop on here and say that change IS coming whether you like it or not. So get TF on board or get left TF behind.

TFW your google search for the wisdom of a Black radical speaking to the problems of 2020 turns up the perfect quote...from 2014 #BlackLivesMatter #abolitionnow

[Ajamu Baraka @ajamubaraka]

Friends, remember the workers, the workers dying & the workers working in the meat processing & poultry plants & all the millions that have lost health coverage. We must not let the rulers control the narrative. The people are starting to demand fundamental structural change.

@physics_journal Thank you for reminding me of that article! It’s one of my favorites, and I’m very proud of my students and collaborators who worked w me on that exciting science.
