Weekend kitchen science fun. A glowing cake colored with chlorophyll on a glowing uranium glass plate.

The 1973 Roe decision was decided 7-2 and written by a Nixon appointee. The 1987 Casey decision upholding Roe was written by a Reagan appointee on a Court w/ 8 justices appointed by GOP presidents.

Rejecting Roe as “egregiously wrong” 50 yrs later = a radical, political act.

Just checking in with all those folks who thought it wasn’t that important to vote for Hillary Clinton. How are you doing tonight?

[Becky Thompson @mathlete79]

I was there and it was great but somehow missed the food trucks!?!

[Jim Kakalios @JimKakalios]

So sorry I missed this. The Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public in the APS organized the 1st ever PHYSICS FIESTA! At a Chicago HS, it featured speakers who discuss their unconventional paths in STEM, Star Wars themed Physics demos, a Latin Jazz band (!), and FOOD TRUCKS!!!

That time I got to tell my hero she was my hero and she clapped and then the Geena Davis institute studied how she was a hero to a lot of people. #IDWGS2022 https://t.co/lwlVTAPFPI

@DylanIsWriting Well, there might be gossip and a#grumpy looks. My log HOA was as useless as a shoe shop in the Shire, too.

@JimKakalios My husband got one that said “the simplest answer is to act” and it made him finally ask me out. He still keeps it in his phone case.
