@MITGradUnion Status at the time of the union vote is not an accurate representation of a grad student's entire time at MIT. #voteyes #MITGSU

[Taylor Michael Bailey @taylorbailey31]

@MITGradUnion Admin's claim also ignores the fact that many are subject to alternating cycles of fellowship-TA/RA, which can change on a semester basis. A grad on fellowship during the voting period might be assigned a TAship the very next semester, but they would be denied a voice! (1/2)

@Laura_J_Martin Very much looking forward to this!!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

During the Obama admin, folks thought we’d have a 60 Dem majority for a while. It lasted 4 months.

Dems are burning precious time & impact negotiating w/GOP who won’t even vote for a Jan 6 commission. McConnell’s plan is to run out the clock.

It’s a hustle. We need to move now.

It appears COVID-19 is offering new ways for zoos/aquariums to provide enrichment activities for display animals. Penguins at the Shedd are being allowed to "express their natural behaviors" by exploring (human) environments beyond their enclosures. #zoohistory #envhist

[Shedd Aquarium @shedd_aquarium]

While this may be a strange time for us, these days feel normal for animals at Shedd. Our caregivers are constantly providing new experiences for the animals to explore and express their natural behaviors with. Let us know what penguin activities you would like to see! (3/3)

I'm writing a paper on the history of post-WWII hunting and wildlife management this semester, and so far, the most important thing I've learned is that I'm incapable of spelling "license" without the help of spellcheck. #envhist

A bird named after a Confederate officer and slave owner is at the center of a reclassification conflict at the American Ornithological Society (@AmOrnith). History of taxonomy meets current debates about Civil War memory+white supremacy. #envhist #histsci https://t.co/i2K0DLv36Q
