I work in cancer research (I search people’s charts and file relevant information to be useful later) and the harm RFK Jr has done, is doing, and will do is sickening and harms patients daily.

I hope one day RFK Jr is unable to get the help he needs because of research he prevented from happening.

Endorphins are addictive…

Also, running across the bridge in that half marathon is absolutely unmatched. Good luck to you!

Trump wants to cozy up to power and wants to be loved. It makes him extremely manipulable. All credit to Mamdani for knowing this and using it to his advantage.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for you, your scholarship and the time you spend sharing with people here. I have followed your work for years. I would never ever think of being purposely mean or disrespectful to you in any forum. It was a bad tweet. I’m sorry. Blocking is fair.

How to get it from your own employer is relatively easy to discover.

How to fund lost salary and/or a stay elsewhere is completely opaque.

I would really love for someone to write an academic “how-to” book for post-tenure faculty, covering this amongst other things. They have similar books for graduate students and entry levels, but it would be great to have something focusing on the mid career stage.

Sorry! Didn’t mean to take away from how amazing you are. I’m just a little feisty about correcting misperceptions about Detroit. 😬 It’s kind to everyone even though it has every reason not to be. Truly a special place.

I hate to break it to you but Detroiters are nice to everybody so you can’t take it personally. 🤷‍♀️

One of the greatest cities in the world.
