Alice Wong will forever be an icon, as she spoke on the hard truths and fought for what should be right in this world
Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

Nothing has disappointed me more than watching institutions cave to ending programs they KNOW have an impact and bring in talented and qualified scientists from different backgrounds. Someday we will have to face what was done here and what we lost.

Both Sinclair and Nexstar caved. There’s a lesson here for would-be leaders, including university presidents.

I have a list of things we can do to change this tempo of tragedy
The proposals are based on real data
They have had signals of efficacy
It may feel hopeless today but:
I refuse to give up.
Because - Our babies & our communities deserve better than a rolling litany of horrors.

I'm team "stay and fight for better for all academic workers"
Unfortunate truth is, U.S. academics are not going to find jobs overseas. Some of the biggest name glam faculty will be poached, but for most, the ride is just going to end.
This isn't to say other countries won't take the lead in research, etc. They'll just do it mostly with their own citizens.
