Supporting research is important just on its face, because discovering new things about the world is just good.

But for people who need to see more "concrete" outputs, it's a net positive for the economy as well. Gutting the federal goverment's support for universities is stupid on so many levels.

Phew, the storm and back up in Chicago airports caused my flights in yesterday and this morning to be cancelled.

So, now, I fly into WI late tonight and am driving down to make it to our (pretty rad, imho) 9 AM panel tomorrow! Please don’t judge me if I come off as more zombie than human #SCMS25

If you read it and have thoughts, let's dish!!

Part 3, in which AOC explains that the calls we have been making to members of Congress this week are having an impact on Republicans and Democrats alike.

Don’t let up.

Keep making noise.

If you need me, I’ll be under a rock
