Where does the term “paradigm shift” come from? Can protest lead to change? How did COVID-19 vaccine development depend on basic science research? How many rungs on the ladder to heaven?

Common Question 2021-22 is now live & asking you, What is progress?

As we live on in a tough ever-changing world, we face questions on how we live, our rights as a citizen, our speech and our democracy. A fruitful session with Senator Barbara A. Mikulski answers some of those hard questions with her experience with the Baltimorean highways.

"Who am I ?", "Who do I want to be?"
In case you missed it, a talk hosted by SNF Agora this Wednesday by Jay J. Van Bavel and Dominic J. Packer on their book "The Power of Us" raises questions about how we perceive ourselves. Norm conformity may not be a bad thing after all.

"With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent."

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The Supreme Court has struck down Roe v. Wade, which for nearly 50 years has protected the right to abortion.

The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health was the most anticipated of the court’s term. https://t.co/ldIT9cEpai

@jhu_cq /@JHU_Math_DUS /@ldlhomewood (@AshleyASchantz) hosted a wonderful event welcoming the new first-year mathematics students and pondering the question "What is Progress in Mathematics?" (Some notable quotes below)

[JHU Common Question @jhu_cq]

"Mathematics was discovered, but the language we used to explain it was invented." (Sophia Lipkin: Math/@ISP_Hopkins Undergrad Student)

"It's really hard to step into the unknown, but you have to accept that you'll land somewhere"

[JHU Common Question @jhu_cq]

"Real mathematics isn't about solving problems, but is instead about posing questions" (@JHU_Math_DUS)

"Every time the light is shined on the answer to a question, everybody starts asking what's just beyond the light." (@JHU_Math_DUS)

[JHU Common Question @jhu_cq]

Join @jhu_cq and @JHU_Math_DUS this afternoon from 4:30-6pm pondering the question: "What is Progress in Mathematics?" with some awesome faculty and students!

CQ hosted a "Do Nothing" event yesterday where students shared what they like to do when they "do nothing" based on @the_jennitaur (Jenny Odell) essay "how to do nothing" (a CQ source!)

TLDR: enjoying the warm weather, sleeping, eating good food, and catching up on Netflix

Key takeaways from my #vision #visionchat with @nicole_s_ofiesh, @ZdawgWong, & @zinajawadi: use clear masks, lectures & teamwork are more accessible online, and #EdTech has gotten more accessible during the pandemic, but more is needed. #highered #sachat https://t.co/xYInW2LD4c
