NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Dear Physicists and Physics fans,
I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.
Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩🔬

My colleague unfortunately did the experiment we've all worried about. Ever wonder what happens when you drop your cell phone in the liquid nitrogen tank while using its flashlight function trying to peer through the fog to retrieve a loose box at the bottom of the tank?? Guess no more! 🥶📱📵😱😭

An additional delightful bit -- Dr. Sakaguchi was the only one of the three who got the news directly from the Nobel committee. Dr. Brunkow saw someone was phoning from Sweden and thought it was spam/spoofing (an AP photographer later told her), and Dr. Ramsdell is hiking in a remote part of Idaho.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

I am livid that my student who submitted a diversity F31 and received an outstanding score, near the top of the fundable range, was told to submit again.
Refusing to fund F31s from URMs while funding regular F31s from white/privileged students with worse scores is blatant discrimination.
