Academic science is a pyramid of trainees. If you want to train your citizens using this system, you need many many PhD students and post docs that won't become PI's to keep the pyramid. We just don't tell them this, and being foreign is an easy way to streamline the cull.

It is not at all unusual to have policies in place that tilt science opportunities to citizens and permanent residents. It's the norm. Foreign PhD students and Post docs are just migrant workers to be used by their host. The truth of international science. You're welcome.

Kavanaugh and Kennedy and Kennedy’s son who worked for Deutsche Bank and loaned Trump millions: This is unfinished business. We have every reason to believe Kennedy’s retirement and Kavanaugh’s installation onto the SC was quid pro quo by Trump. Nov. 6: Vote.

Amazing. Simply amazing. We the working people are under attack. huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-of… via @HuffPostPol

People need to remember this. When it happened. She called him out on Putin. People just didn’t believe it. They believe it now.

Just a reminder that Susan Collins called on Al Franken to resign without the so-called due process and presumption of innocence that she claimed to be defending today regarding Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

When Franken was accused—he resigned When Schneiderman was accused—he resigned When Conyers was accused—he resigned When Trump was accused—he was elected When Moore was accused—he was endorsed When Kavanaugh was accused—he was confirmed Never say the parties are the same

And that's it. Mike Pence announces that with 50 senators voting aye, Kavanaugh is officially on SCOTUS. One lone protester cries out.

@jtdudman @ERSchreiter @rhodamine110 @HHMIJanelia This is huge.

Incredible tool from our colleagues @ERSchreiter @rhodamine110 and many others @HHMIJanelia ; so many exciting avenues for future development as well.

"The 54 senators who voted to elevate Gorsuch had received around 54 million votes, and the 45 senators who opposed him got more than 73 million. That’s 58 percent to 42 percent." @michaeltomasky on what it means to have a minority-rule Supreme Court: nytimes.com/2018/10/05/opi…

Wow... it just hit me how crazy Kavanaugh's comment about the Clintons was... crazy and way, *way* out of line for a judge...

I think that what I’m witnessing are the protestations of patriarchy and privilege. It whines and it rages when it is threatened with being denied that to which it is owed, as birthright and gender benefit. And how dare a woman be the impediment. #KavanaghHearing

Dear @JeffFlake, @lisamurkowski, @SenatorCollins and @BobCorker: Dr. Ford was poised, articulate, credible and “100% certain” that her attacker was Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh was loud, angry, dismissive and exhibited behavior that was unbecoming of a Supreme Court Justice. VOTE NO.

Just a reminder. Hillary Clinton sat in a hearing for 11 hours as Republicans accused her of killing people. She didn't cry once. She didn't yell once. She didn't mention beer once. And we are the unhinged, snowflakes? #KavanaughHearings

Today, Dr. Ford, the victim of sexual assault was polite, frank and kind. The man accused of attackin’ her was angry, frantic and belligerent. Who do you believe?
