This course has been my labor of love for the last year. Be sure to sign up and pass it on to your networks! #scipol #scicomm Relevant to @ESEPCoalition, @SciNetUCS, @scipolnetwork, and students applying to @AAAS_STPF or @mirzayanfellow

Reminder: Primary in MA on Sept 3. Spent yesterday knocking doors for @ElectCartwright for Clerk of MA SJC, because the woman who tirelessly represents me in Congress asked for our help & when @AyannaPressley believes in someone you know they're going to impress you. #vote

@iced_hojicha @NWSBoston It was awesome!

[5-10-24 PM Update] Here is a look at a rough idea on the clearing skies across southern New England tonight. This may allow some to view the #NorthernLights tonight. Some tips on viewing: Get away from city lights & have an unobstructed view north. #mawx #ctwx #riwx

Anyone have suggestions for aurora viewing within a ~2hr drive of Boston tonight? Trying to triangulate across various maps of cloud cover, light pollution, etc. Thought it might be easier to just ask for suggestions!

@SkyscraperJim @NWSBoston Are there any observatories or dark sky locations within a couple hr drive of Boston you'd recommend?

@NWSBoston Those of us who run observatories and plan night sky events could use these Sky Cover Forecast animations all the time. Is there a quick way to access these?

Huge congrats @GGoldman46, new Assistant Director for Environmental Science, Engineering, Policy and Justice @WHOSTP Gretchen was one of the 1st people I had the honor to work with and learn from in my #scipol career. Knowing she'll use #science to inform policy gives me #hope!

@dmccabe @GideonResnick .@GideonResnick I think this might be the first time I've waded into the cancel culture wars... but, as a very loyal WAD listener and former particle physicist, I just wanted to point out that canceling Newton is so last century... It was basically Einstein's whole schtick ;)

@TheRealDHR @RichardvReeves @John_N_Friedman Why does it matter? Lacking a causal explanation doesn't mean the correlation is not a problem. Nor does it mean the issue can't be addressed in the meantime (article has suggestions for this). So putting an unanswered question out there to raise an issue seems...very reasonable?

@RichardvReeves @John_N_Friedman What is your answer? Did students apply to these schools with equal frequency (probably not). Parental resources limit perceived scope of options?Same extracurricular activities (likely no). Higher pressure exerted in higher income groups (probably). So, lots of possible reasons?

Looking again at these charts from @John_N_Friedman et al. Now what could POSSIBLY explain the over-representation (condition on ACT/SAT) of rich students into Ivy+ colleges.... ? opportunityinsights.org/paper/undermat…

@GretchenTG I literally used it right after I read the document! So helpful!

Elevating diverse voices is not just the responsibility of event organizers, but also the invited participants. Before you respond to your next request to speak on a panel, read this excellent resource by @GretchenTG and @kristydahl ucs-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/science-networ…

I just found out @BusinessInsider declared my labor of love project ("Tools for Academic Engagement in Public Policy") as one of the top 13 free online MIT courses! businessinsider.com/free-massachus…

@alexpghayes @aecoppock @AnnaMeierPS I didn't do (academic) research in this area, but I did create @MITpolicylab which connected experts to policymakers. I'd be happy to discuss it from a practitioner point of view if that's helpful. I also created an EdX course on the topic: edx.org/course/tools-f…

Interesting #scipoljobs fellowship opportunity in the Boston area. @TAPP_Project is part of the @BelferCenter @Kennedy_School #scipol @SciPolJobs

Powerful statement by @DrReedTuckson at #AAASForum: If, after we pass this pandemic, we're still talking about Tuskegee and debating if we need to address health inequities, then shame on us. #scipol

Consistently proud of the fact that @AyannaPressley represents me.

I know the Trump tax stuff won't change anyone's mind about him as President. I would settle for it opening people's eyes to how broken our tax system is.

Very grateful for @AAAS_STPF giving me the training I needed to develop programs like @SCI_HarvardMed 's MA State House Fellowship Program! #scipol
