Anyone who has met Dave Zeglen knows about his deep voice and 6' 5'' frame. You'll also remember how he *always* showed up for fellow students and faculty at Mason. Now's our chance to show up for him and his family. Please give!

Has Kamala Harris considered Mothman to be VP?

THAT is how you win Appalachia.

@aepasek I agree with @miriamkp as the best fit I know of. I sometimes have pointed students in my area to bits from Fossil Capital - Chapter 2, 6-8

@kaibosworth Wow

This Thursday at the @busboysandpoets 14th and V location in DC, I will be moderating an event about AI and humanity. Presented by the Johns Hopkins Science Diplomacy Hub and Artvocate, and NGO amplifying the voices of socially-engaged artists.

@kaibosworth My work involves the "clean coal" initiative that contributed to the development of the Class VI injection well permitting program - in a county that is now building out blue hydrogen with CCS. Nothing published, but happy to chat.

@KLAkerlof @ProvostGMU @ESPMasonU @GMU_COS Congratulations!!

[Richard Todd Stafford @ressikanflute]

@GabeSchwartzman @zane_crittheory Cool, looking forward to reading this.

@LeviVanSant @kaibosworth @cfresssh @antidogmatist @brainilliams @CAPE_AAG Depends on what constitutes access. Rancher disputes, like Cliven Bundy and Ammon Bundy standoffs. Conflicts over permitting to drive on the beach to get to residences in a few places, including S. Virginia Beach & Corova, NC. Tent encampments of houseless folks on public land.

@johncarlbaker @plough_shares Congrats!

[Richard Todd Stafford @ressikanflute]

@johncarlbaker Yes, let's. I think I am going to listen to the biography of Milman Parry next.

[Richard Todd Stafford @ressikanflute]

@johncarlbaker I am listening to it rn. 🙃

[Richard Todd Stafford @ressikanflute]

@LeviVanSant Send it over, love to read it

@IBJIYONGI There is an increasing bifurcation in higher education—breadth and depth for the elite, targeted didactic vocational training for everyone else.

[Richard Todd Stafford @ressikanflute]

Seems like this problem is getting worse. Not just the bad publishers and unscrupulous researchers contribute to the problem of overproduction of low- to zero- quality research papers; & the problem goes beyond science, heath, and quant soc sci. https://t.co/bg7ntQcfxM

new! when 'transition' comes at the cost of those who stand to benefit the most, we ask: who is the transition serving? who CAN it serve and benefit?

i find this work vital because it is happening NOW, and we, critical folks, can still intervene ✊

I'm curious about this too - constantly getting vague answers
