Another mass shooting when we greeted each other “Happy Lunar New Year”! Every location, every occasion now. Please support gun safety research and legislation.
In the review summary we received from an Anti-Racism & Inclusive Excellence Pilot Grant: Significance and Goals (Weakness/Areas of Improvement): "One could argue that there are other groups that experience racism more prominently than the AAAPI community".

1/ The *last* thing we need right now is more untested speculation about how to fix social media. We have *research* that can help us evaluate @elonmusk’s proposals to transform Twitter, and many of these studies might inspire him to throw some cold water on his plans 🧵
