All grad admissions offers rescinded at my institution, UMass Chan Med School. There is just no alternative. It’s a terrible loss for students. But it’s also a loss for all of science. Science *runs* on grad student labor. They get paid pennies to do highly skilled work. Science can’t function w/o
This is my institution. These are the people I work with making these decisions. The situation is heartbreaking. Public medical schools have no other choice; there is no other source of funding, and everyone in academia is at extreme risk right now.

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

Elon Musk is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire. Imagine if his wealth was capped at $999M, and we taxed the rest (~$239B).
We could:
End homelessness: $20B
End hunger: $40B annually to 2030
Build homes: 710K new homes at $308K each
A trillion for one or a future for all?
