I do hope that Director Bhattacharya will be driven by data and take steps to improve research at all institutions and not abandon the principle that applications will not be judged by the color of their state, but by the content of their science.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

given how unpopular Trump is, it’s insane that civil society/universities/law firms are still asking themselves “how do I stay on Trump’s good side” rather than “how do I avoid facing consequences for complying with Trump’s illegal demands”

In less than 2 weeks, Trump has called one female reporter “piggy,” another female reporter “ugly“ and a third female reporter “stupid.”
All decent Americans are disgusted by this.
Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

The NIH is 1% of the federal budget. It's responsible for saving Americans today and far into the future. Yet, the Trump admin is hell bent on hobbling the NIH. Millions of dollars in lost research on cancer, Alzheimers and diabetes can't be fixed by thoughts, prayers, and beef tallow. #impeachrfk

This was one of Trump's very worst moments. And that is saying something.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
