No one can tell that whole story & no group can fight all of those changes. Pick a lane. Fight for that thing. Tell that story.

Repeating the standard message: if you were born before 1989, there's a good chance you didn't get both doses of MMR vaccine as a child, and there are people who lose immunity over time. If your insurance will pay for a titer test to check immunity, get one done. If not, get a booster.

Got to read this gem tonight with my kid. She’s gonna know Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. She’s gonna know Stormé DeLarverie. She’s gonna know the first Pride was a riot. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

this makes sense, but i do want to quibble over “first.” the groundwork for this all-out assault on science, research, and universities has been laid for *years* by deriding and defunding the humanities and pretending that science, in contrast, would be safe.

I don’t think that shared governance or academic freedom are self-referential, though I can see how they might kind of gel into jargon terms that don’t explain much to outsiders.

Not sure I think your game is fair, but the faculty in a given discipline are the experts best qualified to assess the research and credentials of other faculty in that discipline (because they are trained and credentialed in that discipline themselves).

University presidents should be shouting about how Trump is shutting down the research that benefits *all* Americans, whether Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease, better road materials, safer cars, more efficient air conditioning, etc etc.
