After having a #stroke in 2017, my father (who cut my hair when I was growing) came out of retirement to flex his improving muscles and motor skills. I can finally stop scaring colleagues/students on @zoom_us with my no- haircut-for-2-months appearance. #StrokeModelingResearch

My kids were disappointed in @salesforce. Go to this link (https://t.co/UwYuR8Ztam) and notice that it never actually sends you the so-called "magic
link" (they claim it's in your junk/spam folders). But it seems to be an email collection scheme. Shameless.

@ChrisHenryJr @amazon Where do I go now to escape this loop and get cust-service? I am one of those "customers" you're "obsessed" with.

RCEL's 3rd C-suite engineering leader, Dr. Sandra Johnson, did not disappoint. The audience had so many questions for this engineer-turned-CEO (and former CTO) that the discussion could have gone on much longer. Stay tuned to see which C-suite engineering leader is next!

[Rice Engineering and Computing @RiceEngineering]

@RiceECE alumna Sandra Johnson returned to campus recently for an inspiring @RCELConnect fireside chat, celebrating her impactful career and the launch of her new book, “Soft Power for the Journey: The Life of a STEM Trailblazer.”

I commend the UT System for today adding hope to families with a Promise. (@RiceUniversity made a similar 'Investment' [https://t.co/7xmM29UDEF] some years ago.)

[The Daily Texan @thedailytexan]

NEW: The UT Board of Regents approved free tuition and waived fees across the UT System for students whose families make less than $100,000 annually, the Board announced Wednesday.

Story to come @thedailytexan.
