That means new public health experts could lose access to key higher ed resources, like loan limits & reimbursement.

Today is World Kindness Day.
It can be holding a door open for someone, offering a seat on the bus, or simply checking on the people who have been a part of your life's story.

I was in medical school then, having already earned a 3.97 GPA in biomedical engineering. And the president of freaking Harvard said people like me were not suited for science. He still had a high-powered, prestigious career after that but tell me again about how cancel culture ruins men’s lives.
One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.
