In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

These turquoise swirls are #Melissa’s sediment plumes—fine carbonate sands lifted from the shallow shelf and pulled into spiraling eddies. Their sharp gradients show strong shear and mixing. Within days the pattern fades as particles settle and dilution breaks the structure.🌀🟢🔵
