If I could embrace each of you who are facing being more vulnerable with less rights, I would. These words from my father encourage me to look up and to keep fighting for freedom, democracy, and a world where injustice ceases and love prevails. Maybe you’ll find them helpful and a source of hope. #WeShallOvercome #GodIsWithUs #MLK

@ForrestFleisch1 The @SACNAS #NDinSTEM conference does just this.

All academic conferences should start with a parade and dance party.

I’m hiring for a super cool and super important role @calacademy I’m looking for a leader to work with our team to expand biodiversity community science in California! us242.dayforcehcm.com/CandidatePorta…

@SACNAS @NSF And I also squeezed a bit of canvassing for @KamalaHarris with some incredible folks in south Phoenix!

Then off to @SACNAS #NDiSTEM2024 supporting our @NSF #REU students presenting their work at the best, most interesting, most fun, and most inclusive science conference in the world!

I just had two of the most incredible and rewarding weeks in my career. First a week at #COP16Colombia learning from the people of Cali & the world & sharing about the work we are doing @calacademy to help @CalNatResources meet @30x30CA goals & celebrate #CityNatureChallenge

Thought of this quotation as I read the posts by my colleague ⁦@McCormickProf⁩ about friendship and political differences.

“Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her” is one of the most powerful statements made yet in support of this ticket. Thank you, Harrison Ford. 🗳️💙

@wtflanksteak @nosoupforgeorge I’m mean, if only.

WHO IS GIVING AWAY HOUSING TO IMMIGRANTS????!?!!!!!!?????? WHAT THE SHIT IS HE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!

@AndreaChalupa I’m all for anyone wearing eyeliner who wants to, but not being a terrible person while doing it.

Does Vance wear eyeliner like Mussolini? #VPDebate2024 #VPDebate

Trump just claimed that immigrants have the "highest level of criminality". Actually, the opposite is true.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Leadership of the California Academy of Sciences (CAS) has imposed a 5% cut to the organization’s 600-plus workforce, with a disproportionately greater impact on CAS’s science division. scim.ag/7CK
