I would really love to turn Boston into the East Coast SV. We just need to keep talent here and focus on supporting entrepreneurs instead of going to grad school.

When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money.

We are seeing a dip in Target’s stock too. Our money is powerful, we just need to utilize it!

Wars aren't won in a day. It requires all of us to do little things in our lives that will add up across the country. Take care of yourselves and each other. One day at a time.

And show up in the real world instead of yapping about using the same tools Democrats have been using and utterly failing

They want us exhausted so they can do whatever they want whenever they please.

I don't have all the solutions but am posting into the void and asking and pleading to you that we can do something.

Take care of yourselves. But little things add up. Conversations in your community. 4/n

There's no use trying to understand or argue with Trump supporters. They DO NOT care if they suffer. They only care about winning. Any suffering they feel - they will blame blue NO MATTER WHAT.

We need to organize locally and build coalitions within our community. 3/n

They are destroying things so that 99% of the US population have to turn to them, and they get to continue to fill their pockets.

We need to start showing them what we can do even if we're bogged down by tiredness and lack of energy.

They WANT and NEED our money. Their ego DEMANDS it. 2/n

Amazing! I've been picking up my book every time I feel the urge to open Reddit on my phone. Slowly fixing my dopamine system, go us! 🐛

Fair enough - thank you for the insight! I wonder what mechanism it would take to make this applicable to places like Boston.

Pandemic 2.0 electric boogaloo coming to a Earth near you in the next year!

Do you have info on its impact on lower-income peeps?

Lots of nonprofits working on the ground on climate resiliency. They're doing amazing work.

Thanks so much for this meta-analysis. I would love for more conversation around One Health and conservation medicine while we research treatments/prevention for human health.

This may be true, but there are many soft skills you can transfer (: I follow a couple of ex-Academics on LinkedIn who coach PhDs into industry even if it's different from what they study

I think we can be better, but most are not. Most people are either very comfortable and privileged - while others are barely hanging on by a thread. There is no sense of unity in this country. Countries like France have a strong national identity. US is a melting pot, people are too scared here.

I couldn't tell you but in my office, new grants are no longer being offered. But the current students are safe because they have been disbursed. A lot is up in the air right now - I don't even think university admin has the answer. I hope everything works out for you, sending you love ♡

It's time to pivot to entrepreneurship/corporate, the next four years seem very unstable. A motto I've learned to accept/tolerate is we need to support ourselves before we support others. Figuring out our place in the system while keeping our ethical framework is the first step.

Most Americans are too comfortable/exhausted to strike. Unfortunately, many people here don't have that national pride to protect themselves.

Academia might be the biggest pyramid scheme in the world with both passionates and opportunists. It's really disheartening but the good ones keep the fight going.
