ASU’s IRB staff is prompt, helpful, and patient with students. And I tell them that frequently

What’s wrong with RED, WHITE, AND BLUE?

Also, a lot of organizers have pointed out that yellow is being used by many groups to identify marshalls.

Good point!!

Also, FWIW, my protest colors are RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

Admittedly, it's a pretty minor error, but an unforced one by national indivisible.

My protest colors are RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!

Oof. Good luck running against the tide. I'm going to guess most of us have the same thought as me: my protest colors are RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!

Sherman Dorn @shermandorn.com · 18h

Oof. Bad call, though admittedly a minor issue.

My protest colors are RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!

As an historian, I don't see trends unless they're in my rearview mirror!

But it's a good thing when three institutions say no.

Which isn’t to say that the NYT is right when it uses Ivy League as synonym for all higher ed—it’s wrong! But there is a higher ed

God save our country’s king
Though Elvis couldn’t sing
After ‘55
Mom saw him yesterday
Wrapping meat at her Safeway
Oh what an awful afterlife!
God save the King!

So everyone else will cover DoD by using shoe leather. That’s probably just fine!

I have some thoughts but haven’t followed this in a while. I believe Miami-Dade had universal screening. How long did that last?

Yay! Now, please get the message: WE ALREADY HAVE PROTEST COLORS: RED, WHITE AND BLUE!

On the other hand, if "please wear yellows" is the worst decision Indivisible has made this year, that's pretty minor.

We ALREADY have protest colors: RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!!

Like others, I think it's way too late to make this ask less than a week before #NoKings. We ALREADY have protest colors: red, white, and blue.

Throughout history, people have protested authoritarian governments with a unifying color to symbolize their peaceful resistance. Our movement is no different. Yellow is a bright, unmistakable reminder that millions of us stand together in the belief that America belongs to its people — not kings.

At my annual poke-and-prod for this very good study funded by the Michael J Fox Foundation

PPMI: The Study that's Changing Everything

The Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) is our landmark study. It gathers information over time to learn more about how brain disease starts and changes and how to stop it. Now it needs ...

Well, that's YOUR team. We can't always have Tressie's team.

OTOH, I met with a collaborator last week over coffee just off campus. We tackled our assigned task in 10-15 minutes and then chatted.
