Star Wars taught me more of a moral code than any Bible verse. The power of Hope, the importance of Friendship and Loyalty, embracing Diversity and Acceptance, the perils of Hubris and Arrogance—and the balance between Light and Dark…

Stay on target, my friends… and May the 4th be with you. Always.

The party of pro-pediatric cancer.
Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic.

This is devastating
These overhead rates are negotiated. Lowering it unilaterally to 15% is another way to destroy science in the US. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

This isn't the main concern with these outbreaks, but I cannot stop thinking about how we've reinstated all these diseases that cause deafness while we systematically dismantle disability protections and education. I think the irony is breaking my brain.
We need to be giving this more attention - measles outbreaks are rough on patients, taxing on response, and indicative of larger public health vulnerabilities.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Charlie Kirk called ASL interpretation a “distraction."

In response, the president of the National Association of the Deaf board wrote: “This real-time interpretation can be life-saving during emergencies, when clear and immediate understanding is vital.”
LA is burning, and the Right is furious—about sign language interpreters
Life-saving ASL interpretation is the latest woke scourge.

I want to start my own dissertation that’s for a potential PhD. But I want to do it independently. Is that even possible??
