In 2014 (or 2015?) @ClaireAdida emailed me with an idea for a summer research program with UCSD, Morehouse, and Spelman. I ignored the email. Thankfully, some of my colleagues did not. Now there's an article about the program's success. cup.org/2YMo5Qk

@ClaytonNall yes. The anti-standardized test people do not make any sense to me.

@milo_phd this is an excellent take because it reveals (what is for some) a hard truth: Lauryn Hill can't actually sing

The Score remains a great album, as I’m reminded while sitting at this bar. But I just don’t like Fugees/Lauryn Hill’s version of Killing Me Softly. Never have and never will, I guess. Her voice is so tinny and childlike compared to Roberta Flack’s.

@RyanDEnos 1. I agree completely. 2. Flip flops should only be worn in bathrooms, locker rooms, and at poolsides. Anything else is barbarism. 3. I am a hypocrite who almost exclusively wears shorts to the office in the summer.

The money was well-spent and now I get to go to the Tennessee Aquarium as a reward.

@PrinceJauan perhaps the guy pictured and quoted in the article (aka your former adviser and department chair) is working? My honest perspective, 90% of the credit goes to Syracuse. They really pushed for this.

My President is WORKING! Morehouse just announced a 3+3 Law program with Syracuse University. Thank you for continuing to push access for our scholars, @ProfThomas!

@ShesTheWiz I've seen enough around our house to know that they live in Atlanta, but I still take it as good luck

I turned to the window just as the moment a hummingbird appeared. I've never seen one here so I'm going to accept that it was message of good luck.

@milo_phd the 40mil is just arbitrarily assuming $100k for each of the 400 students. I think that's probably an overestimate. In terms of the rest, maybe I was wrong. It seems that Smith and the President of the College have doubled down on the claim.

@milo_phd I had to have a "like a man" conversation with my son this morning. It was about answering questions in a clear and audible voice.

I continue to beat son in chess. But he played his BEST match ever against me. However, he didn't shake my hand like a man, offering me a dead fish hand. I have him a choice: Shake my hand like a man & play me again or go to bed. He decided to not choose. So, he's off to bed.

@arthur_spirling Obviously, I'm now doubling down on my "all awards are fraudulent and elitist" position.

Wow! Stunned to win #polmeth emerging scholar awd, and deeply appreciate all the lovely tweets, emails people sent. Thanks to every person (incl R2!) who helped me along the way! (note to regular readers: I'll be backpedaling my 'all awards are elitist' position for a few days)
