Remember the ice bucket challenge for ALS? With over 1000 terminated from the National Institutes of Health and new research project reviews frozen all of that progress just came to a full stop. Same for cancer research and every other thing that threatens to kill you and people you love.

If we expanded this list to 10 I think we might get to include Eddie Feigner. (Please let there be 1 person who gets this reference).

80th day of the protests in European Georgia. This is Tbilisi tonight. Look at that crowd. 80 days of this. That’s how you resist a Putin-backed coup.

This will fly under the radar of many outside of higher ed but it is hard to overstate how bad this is for America, the country’s positon as a global leader in research and innovation, and the American economy.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

I just used Likert as a verb for the first time in my feedback to a student - as in, you may want to likert each choice in that survey section. What say you #Academicbsky

In Tbilisi, Georgia protestors surrounded corrupt judges and pro-Russia collaborators when they tried to have a fancy state sponsored banquet. The corrupt judges were forced to flee while being pelted by eggs. Reports indicate staff also spit in their food. #GeorgiaProtests

Georgians have been waiting for sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili for years. For us, it’s a solid demonstration of support from our friends. The American 🇺🇸 anthem was thus played at today’s protest, I think for the first time. Day 30. #GeorgiaProtests 📷 Giorgi Kandelaki

“We are witnessing the birth of a third republic of Georgia. If the people win, they will face the monumental task of rebuilding the country’s institutions from the ground up. But the alternative — a fully consolidated Kremlin-backed dictatorship — would be a disaster for Georgia and the region.”

Elders are also protesting, despite the violence of the Moscow backed government and the risk of mass arrests. The younger protestors are shielding them from the water cannons and rubber bullets. All of Georgia remains defiant. #GeorgiaProtests
