i’m proud to have studied and worked with many chinese public health scientists over the years. this red scare bullshit is unjust, bigoted, and utterly self-destructive
The only way we will win a better world is not only leftism for America, but internationalism. “Researchers who have anything to do with China should have their careers ended” is a bipartisan position, and it can’t be anymore. If we live in a fragmented world, it will burn in our lifetime

My special interest is having a really big event tomorrow and I'm too excited and I am so impatient and I feel like exploding but I have to do work that is also exciting. Overall, there are just too many feelings trapped inside me and I will be exploding.

Can't word correctly today. Too stimulated and not integrated enough. On top of that, I'm also getting a cold.
