Located off Woodley Avenue at the end of Waterman Drive at @VanNuysAirport , this was a safe place to encourage children to observe aircraft and build interest in aviation. It's time to reopen this observation area. @nithyavraman, @claylacy, @Helinet can you help?

Children & their parents continue to be locked out of the Van Nuys Airport Observation area. Parks open. Libraries open. Restaurants open. Airports open. When will the Public Observation Area at Van Nuys Airport once again open. @VanNuysAirport @VanNuysNewsPres @CD6Nury

Perhaps there is a place where a debate is answering the questions posed by the moderator, making convincing arguments on the topics, and supporting the arguments with verifiable facts. Oh yeah, high school debate teams do that. Sadly, not #Debate2020

How do you know you live in the blazing heat? When the outside temperature is only 7 degrees less than Death Valley.

How to offer a genuine apology is something that should be taught in school. In lieu of that, listen to @BreneBrown's two part episode "I’m Sorry: How To Apologize & Why It Matters" https://t.co/9UXEZzw5pM

Please spend five minutes of your day, adjusting your attention away from the mass media, reading this article from @margoaaron https://t.co/9quuIP6h9x

It is important to be mindful and aware of how information is presented to us. #PanicIsOptional

[Stephen Gurnick @sgurnick]

#SocialDistancing can play a role in preventing spread of an epidemic. We should be mindful how this act of distancing creates a vacuum of interpersonal connection. These are trying times for many communities. As we stand farther apart, this is the time to embrace our humanity.

[Stephen Gurnick @sgurnick]

We are a part of communities ranging in emotions from alarmed, startled, confused, frustrated, scared, and panicked. Please know that you are not going through this alone. Let's help/support each other: lend a helping hand, be there for someone, take it one step at a time. 2/2

As we take-in what is happening around us keep in mind that what will get us all through this is measured responses. Buy only what you need (what you'll realistically use). Your neighbors will thank you. Continue good hygiene practices, that you'd do regardless of a crisis. 1/2

@HardyPottinger It's been a pleasure. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter. Looking forward to crossing paths with you again soon.

#DemDebate should really be called #DemRuckus. Are we learning anything substantive about these six candidates? Or are we watching a reality show to see who slings the best mud and who gets the most quips in? Disappointing all around.

Watch Shadow and Jackie being good Bald Eagle parents as they trade off sitting on a pair of eggs. https://t.co/y4GsekaDwN

Our team here at the UCLA Library did a tremendous job launching this new web site and enabling so much digital content to be shared with the world.

Example: A project team is well-funded and has plenty of people. Seems plausible it will be a success. But probability of success requires looking at the team's track-record.

There's usually more to consider than what you see in front of you.

[Stephen Gurnick @sgurnick]

Reading Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow". Inspired thought: Probability and Plausibility are often two different concepts. Just because you have a high degree of one, doesn't necessarily correlate to the other.
