Now there's a memorable stat! "Colleges and universities are among America’s most competitive international exporters. In dollar terms, last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined." wapo.st/3EvzMCI

This is my concern, what if he is dead? What is next? What I anticipate is…nothing. There’s a critical mass of people in this country who won’t care because he is/was Central American

BECAUSE WE HAVE A VACCINE. AND, UNTIL RECENTLY, ALMOST EVERYONE TOOK IT. Remarkably, nowhere in the article does the word "vaccine" appear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/w...

I give begrudging credit to Harvard physicians and scientists to take one illegal impoundment for the team, and jealous of the level of their engagement. (I just feel disappointed our medical faculty seem so disengaged in this fight- hope i’m wrong) www.statnews.com/2025/04/15/h... via @statnews.com

He’s a Christian (celebrated Palm Sunday) who voted for Trump. (No comment). But because he’s not quite white enough and his name sounds scary and Middle Eastern 🙄

I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

He is a union apprentice and raising three special needs kids, two of them from his wife's previous relationships so yes he is certainly in the running.

I'm going to pretend that the $1300ish I paid on the federal level went to Dr. Bhalla and the other deserving NIH researchers, and not to his golf course or the gulag deportation flights of innocent people.

I always enjoy looking at #BigHouse 5k race results for the 80+ yo men and women. There were 9 men and 7 women in that age group who participated. Acie Stanfill, age 81, ran the 5K in 33 minutes, and Katie Wolff, age 80, ran it in 38 minutes. #healthyaging www.battlecreekenquirer.com/story/sports...

I think I've been to Easter mass more than Dear Leader as a very obviously not Christian person (I went once with a Catholic friend back in med school, Latin mass too, intense) 😂

Despite Trump sabotage of the country and trade, the number of Republicans identifying as MAGA has ballooned to 71% since January. Of all voters the number is 36%. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru... The old GOP is gone. No wonder allies increasingly doubt they can count on the US.

If a cancer killed 7M+ people a year, we’d have ribbons, marches, and PSAs. If an infectious disease did, it’d be a global emergency. But when it’s 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻—an environmental issue—it gets dismissed as “woke.” Planetary health 𝘪𝘴 human health. #Medsky #ClimateSky #PublicHealth 🌍🫁

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

Taps mic University presidents should be presidents. Meaning, they should be elected by the faculty and staff, have fixed terms, and be accountable to us and represent the needs and interests of the members of the university, not the business interests of the board of trustees.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Still watching Day of the Jackal, and does Eddie Redmayne really speak French, Spanish, and German along with English fluently? This is such a comforting antidote to American xenophobia right now, a worldly assassin, what can I say.

Harvard thank you for following the leadership of superior universities such as Eastern Michigan

There are somewhere around 4000 degree-granting institutions in the US - sure sounds DOGE to me to hire commissars to analyze every single course for each and every one. (Eastern Michigan University probably made right call that nobody is really going to look into their curriculum in depth)

Look, Harvard has a $53 billion endowment. Yes, I’m fully aware endowment money is usually restricted, but when you are dealing with stochastic terrorists who don’t follow the law, you can break your own university rules to protect your rights. If Harvard tells them to pound sand…I may even donate

Making a big deal about sending an all women team “to space” on Blue Origin, in full glam, while defunding programs that support women scientists and stripping DEIA from NASA…is something else. Science for me, but not for thee! #standupforscience

As an attending physician who still buys her purses from Target (well, I used to pre-anti D.E.I., Kohls now? Costco?), I found this hilarious. I do not get the lady doctor obsession with Coach, Prada and Gucci purses, mine gets in all kinds of dirt and grime.

Proud to be among sixty-nine faculty members at Rutgers Law School who signed on to the Harvard letter (h/t @beidelson.bsky.social) affirming our commitment to the rule of law. And I want to highlight something unique our school is doing that I hope will become a model for other schools.
