Thank you so much for raising attention to this. It’s especially sad to see Iran’s brightest students earn PhDs at America’s top universities and then be forced to go back to Iran. Aside from how it impacts the students, it’s also worse for American competitiveness.

The folks you mention are trying to help in different ways. Most have learned that it’s easier to impact complex issues like this by working behind the scenes.

@kooshiar @marcorubio The pause in processing work authorization and immigration is leaving many Iranian students in limbo. These scholars followed the rules and contribute enormously to U.S. research and innovation. Blanket delays based on nationality hurt students, universities, and America.

Thread: Students of the Music Department at Tehran's Art Uni. have written new words to the famous Chilean revolutionary ballad "El pueblo unido jamás será vencido." It's a powerful performance w/ captivating lyrics that I'll translate in this thread: 1/4 #Iran #IranProtests2022

@pejmannozad @KSNews @pearvc We may be able to do some good together on that. TMT is a major supporter of the school system in Hawaii.

The #NobelPrize committee couldn't reach Paul Milgrom to share the news that he won, so his fellow winner and neighbor Robert Wilson knocked on his door in the middle of the night.

Dear former first lady, our daughter Lia loves watching and listening to your @PBSKIDS program “Mondays with @MichelleObama!" Could we possibly ask for a Monday Special, reading one of her favorites, the super cute story of BO @WH? https://t.co/3usqTtJJ8e
