Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

In the 1920s, a woman in California had an amazing idea to put suspected criminals in a dark room with a glowing skeleton to have them confess their crimes

I've completely redone my spreadsheet of universities to apply for my PhD.

It's now heavily weighted towards programs outside the US.

Just received this email (received 3:25 pm ET), from the NSF director, informing that DOJ has interpreted the temporary restraining order on the funding freeze as applying to “all NSF award recipients.”

Again, I’ll shout it from the rooftops: lawsuits matter!!!!

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

At Whitman Elementary School in Spokane, I announced my commitment to provide universal free school lunches to every Washington student.

Right now, a single parent working 40 hours a week at $19 per hour does not qualify for free lunch for their kid.
