I’ll soon send off my book manuscript to my editors. Are there any pop culture examples about smell you desperately want me to include? Think film, (fictional and reality) tv, books, trends, news stories, products, quotes etc. Just want to make sure I’m covering all my bases!

Drop Site obtained harrowing footage of the latest killing which appears to be from the perspective of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk

@VivekGRamaswamy Nothing says freedom like forced speech

We’ll say the pledge of allegiance every day at every public school after I’m elected. And no, there’s nothing “anti-immigrant” about it. We need more national unity, not less.

Happy New Year! We love sharing these pro-book posters from the Works Projects Administration Poster Collection in the Library's Prints and Photographs Division. Of the 2,000 WPA posters known to exist, the Library of Congress's collection of more than 900 is the largest.

This is a bombshell, but it's also an infuriating example of burying the point. It's not until 4,400 words into a 9,000-word piece that we are told that the key stories in one of the most famous science nonfiction books of the 20th century are made up!

Students and teachers preparing for the upcoming AP Psychology exam, here's a video explanation of the new style of free response called the EBQ: youtu.be/G75Y5MrV-9g?si… #APPSYCH

Mr bad Dr. Fineburg, I wasn’t familiar with your game.

Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress & 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that. For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.

Here's the flag flying at half-staff over Nixon's 1973 inauguration, in honor of the late Harry Truman who had died a few weeks earlier. Jazz artist Ethel Ennis sang the national anthem.

Let’s be clear: North Carolina is not the democracy we think it is if the NC Supreme Court goes along with this.. Everyone in America should be watching our state right now. wral.com/story/republic…

@effortfuleduktr What comes around goes around, as I first heard this at least a decade ago in NC

You call them 'do nows' in the UK? Nice to know what we'll be calling them in five years in the US.

What I find most interesting about all this is that trans women have been using women's restrooms in the Capitol and the House and Senate office buildings and the White House and the Pentagon for many years now, including during all four years of the Trump Administration. Under Donald Trump's leadership, trans women were permitted to use women's restrooms in federal buildings in D.C. and there was never any issue. In the four years that Rep. Nancy Mace has been in Congress, she's known that trans women use women's restrooms in federal buildings in D.C. and it's never been an issue for her. Not once. In all this time. Until the first openly-trans person was elected to Congress. Then it suddenly became an issue. Doesn't it seem like this is an incredibly cynical attempt to manufacture outrage and divide people over something that hasn't been a problem?

I am looking forward to learning from some of the best social science educators at #NCSS. Please join me for my session, Elevating Vocabulary! It might be a power session, but it is jam packed with effective strategies that can be implemented the day you get back to your schools.

BREAKING: We are resurfacing this clip of Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin calling Matt Gaetz a sexual predator for no particular reason.

We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵nature.com/articles/s4146…
