Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."
Really meant,
"For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

A team of archivists has recreated the pre-Trump CDC website as a live, easy-to-navigate website that should be indexed by Google. The team is hosting it in Europe. Cool project that is sadly necessary:

The team used a Reddit-made archive of the CDC website to create a new live mirror of the site before it was purged.

Black history happens every day, and the stories from NPR listeners are good examples of that. From becoming the first Black mayor of a town to singing music about change, these stories matter.

I want to see every scientific society going into emergency mode. This is a good example of how an organization can flex its specific power in a time of great need. What else is possible?
The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government.

Hey 🧪 and #AcademicSky I am a current PI/co-PI on two NSF grants and subaward on two others. If you are new to NSF funding, feel free to DM me if you want help on logistics/pappg/research.gov
I’ll also be reaching out to my program officers to volunteer for panels.

🧵 about how McConnell jacked Obama's first term up as much as he could, for those who don't remember...
Sure, since you asked so nicely!
1. McConnell and the Senate GOP kept Judd Gregg from joining Obama’s Cabinet and blocked Tom Daschle — a powerful senator! — from being Obama’s HHS pick.

I'm going to need EVERY SINGLE "Progressive" McConnell taint licker to actually LIST what the 40 GOP Minority U.S. Senators did to stop Barack Obama in 2009. Did they stop cabinet members from being confirmed? Did they stop major bills from being passed? It seems some memories are faulty.

It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017

We do this all to stay focused, not flooded. I share the sense we’ve made in a late Friday night debrief.
There is a lot to feel sad & sick about. I can’t tell you things will be okay, but I can tell you A LOT about efforts to make it better.
This was week 4.

For every dollar of federal research funding in the United States, universities generate between $2.30 and $3.00 of economy activity, much of that in local communities.
That doesn’t even include the return on investment of getting a college or graduate degree, which research also dollars support.
