The biggest ask I get when visiting universities is to set aside more time for office hours. So here it goes! This month coming to Penn, OSU, & Penn State.

Let me know if you'd like to join or just stop by.

Have a couple of other slots this Wed morning to meet faculty too. Drop a line!

Well said
Good morning! You woke up on a small, spinning rock, orbiting an ordinary star, one of hundreds of billions in a galaxy that’s been here for a long time. And somehow, in all that vastness, you’re here, making meaning out of a single day. Feels pretty miraculous to me. #sciart

I can’t stop thinking about what is happening in Minneapolis & the rest of the country. No one should be killed. It doesn’t matter if you are a protestor or law enforcement. No parent or child should ever have to go through the pain that we’ve seen. Personally, I’m hurting seeing what is happening.

So much wisdom that Gen. McChrystal shares in our interview. Lessons he's learned the hard way. What character & patriotism means, being on the front lines as your enemy uses new technology, how that tech is going to impact all of us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACGa... @cwclub.bsky.social

It is irresponsible to play politics with the support of suicide counselors. People who are in a mental health crisis need support and we know how to support them www.axios.com/2025/06/18/t...
Suicide counselors for LGBTQ+ youth removed from hotline by Trump admin
"Suicide prevention is about people, not politics," Trevor Project CEO Jaymes Black said.
