Genie Clark, “the shark lady,” was 91 when I met her. Probably a top 5 most famous scientist ever.
She attended the student poster session, posed for a photo with *everyone,* and, astonishingly, the next day remembered every student’s name and what they worked on.
I’m still in awe.

Screw "never meeting your heroes." What were some times you met your heroes and they were super cool?

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
