#1B64 #1B69 and #1B73 students: I hope you’re all doing well! This is a belated note to say that I’ve unfollowed your Twitter accounts in case you want to use them as private, non-academic accounts now that our class is over. You can always reach me by email :)

For those of you researching physics for Essay 4, you may want to check out Stephen Hawking’s book Brief History of Time. (Remember you can focus on the Intro and/or a specific section of the book). An excerpt can be found here: https://t.co/Nx5xCgcDPM #1B64 #1B69 #1B73

Feeling excited and/or terrified about space after watching Interstellar and want to learn more? Enroll in PHYS 005 History of the Universe in spring 2018. A good friend of mine, Dr. Mario De Leo Winkler, is teaching the class. https://t.co/4m5xva3Vn3 #1B64 #1B69 #1B73

@nmcdo001 Thanks so much for tweeting this video, Nicole! I was going to have us watch a difference science video, but I liked this one more.

@Jack_D_Castor Enjoy! :)

@AlmazanAnais Puns! Alright, Alright, Alright!

I’m sending you good luck wishes for your drafts of Frankenstein! If you need a bit of a break, here are images of a storm on Saturn (in false and real colors). Throwback to our “All Summer in a Day” discussions. #1B64 #1B69 #1B73 https://t.co/rZFFbkvkvn

Seven years ago today, we captured these false-color images chronicling a day in the life of a huge storm on Saturn. Details: https://t.co/klG4o97zwE

@HuyHoan99839983 Lol! Great gif.

@edemi005 Interesting — I haven’t seen that movie, but if it’s like the story then I’m guessing there are some disturbing power dynamics.

[Dr. Sullivan @DrSullivanUCR]

@dyous001 Luckily, I think Williams’s doctor-narrator is an exception, but I like your impulse to connect the story to real life situations. Reading this story has made me think about power dynamics in general.

[Dr. Sullivan @DrSullivanUCR]

@Bcast017 I agree that it would be weird and uncomfortable to be his patient.

[Dr. Sullivan @DrSullivanUCR]

@khuer002 The dynamic between the two characters is unsettling.

[Dr. Sullivan @DrSullivanUCR]

@AndrewPichardo2 The situations is creepy, unexpected, and unnerving — and keeping track of our emotional responses like this can be great entry points for further analysis. Thanks for sharing.

[Dr. Sullivan @DrSullivanUCR]

@ErickCobian1 Have you started reading Paterson? Let us know what you think. I’ve only read Williams’s shorter poems.

[Dr. Sullivan @DrSullivanUCR]

@Serenamariet_ This is an important quote to analyze in order to interpret the narrator-doctor, so I hope we get to discuss it in more detail in class. I think many of us will be making similar facial expressions.

[Dr. Sullivan @DrSullivanUCR]

@matwa004 There are crucial differences between Williams’s doctor and Nassar, but this is a helpful connection to a current context. If we get a chance to discuss the story more in class I’ll be sure to reference this tweet. Thanks for sharing.
