Congratulations #Illinois ! Enforcing a public safety rule (mandatory masking and distancing) is fair. And it makes all of our post-covid dreams a little closer to reality. #MaskUp

@stephanPhD ...I always incorporated such anecdotes into my script to emphasize the quality of teaching and availability of mentorship, and I’d like to think you were a selling point! But it’s true that high school students don’t know what questions to ask about academics.

@stephanPhD Hi Professor Pennington, I took your class my senior year (2012) and was an admissions tour guide—for what it’s worth, I always told my groups about the time I ran into you in Lilly and then spent 3 HOURS talking to you re: appropriation/power dynamics and Hawaiian slack key...

This is the worst thing that’s happened to US science and innovation. Banning #Immigrant scientists will lead to a devastating loss in creativity and productivity. Pretty much every lab in the US will suffer. https://t.co/xzZypmAgVn

Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible––and there is still so much work to do.
