I'm new! I'm the Dir of Choirs at Oregon State University. I'm always looking for community in music, politics, higher ed, sports, and generally intelligent talk about anything. I enjoyed many of the younger composers, musicologists, and theorists who seemed to be on Twitter, or at least they were.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.
This is dangerous & disappointing.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.
