    That said, there’s still much we can do to adapt to . Focus on food & water security. Energy efficiency. Invest in infrastructure, research & protect those at risk - including in the U.S. And let’s make sure our leaders arrive prepared to address on day 1.

    All day I’ve seen reactions ranging from horror to ambivalence over the crisis. I don’t feel shocked - I was learning about all this 15 yrs ago. We’ve been greedy & haven’t taken simple steps to change course. So it goes.

    My son's teachers took everyone inside from recess bc of a suspicious man behind bushes. Older children say he had a gun, which is unsubstantiated. That school shootings happen is devastating. Explaining this to my kindergartner later will also be devastating.

    Inevitable. Also disgusting.

    Trump is now mocking and imitating Christine Blasey Ford: "I don't know. I don't know. Upstairs, downstairs, I don't know. I don't remember."

    I know Trump dominates the news cycle all day. Every day. I know we must pay attention the rollbacks, lies, sexism, racism & injustice. But a giant 18ft killed over 1200 ppl on Friday. Why aren't we hearing about that too ? And how to help?

    How do these dinosaurs in science still exist? Stop inviting men like this to speak at events & highlight great so they become more prominent, visible & have a voice.

    Short summary of Strumia’s talk: women aren’t as good at physics as men and they’ve been allocated too much funding/ been promoted into positions of power unfairly. He said this to an audience of early career .
