    If the main outcome from Iowa is that a 92%-white state doesn’t get to clearly award anyone “momentum” AND we have a wake-up call about using insecure unproven tech during a major election ... Isn’t that a win?

    He was in fact the first African American to earn a PhD in *any* subject from an American university, one of the first ten people of any race to earn a PhD in physics from an American university, and one of the first Americans to earn a PhD in any subject in the US.

    Wow, is right. This is a great. It’s basically my new favorite romantic comedy — with a plot twist.

    In case you haven’t heard, two (non-functioning) spacecraft have a 1 in 100 chance of colliding over the US tomorrow. 👀 They will pass each other within 15-30 meters. THAT IS SUPER CLOSE. Here I am standing 15 and 30m away. Now imagine me at 1000kg traveling at 15km PER SECOND.

    Bernie has a comms team problem. Big time. And the fact that he’s still working with these folks makes me nervous about how he would staff his White House.

    There are so many lessons and stories related to the fact that certain types of pottery are radioactive. This science context is great. Also: pottery designed to serve food that leaches glaze chemicals when in contact with food? Not ideal. A pot that leaches Uranium? Eep.

    I’m wary of amplifying tweets like these lest I give students the impression that academia is thick with bullies. It’s not. But bullies are among us and their nature & actions amplify their effect. If you ever get an email like this, know that it’s not your fault & it’s not ok.

    There's a very particular expression of misogyny embedded in the NYT's weird two-lady endorsement; it's the same expression of misogyny embedded in the failure of country & rock radio to play female artists back-to-back - the Grand Unifying Theory of Women Are Interchangeable 1/

    White dudes say fucked up shit all the time and have no memory of saying it or no memory of saying it in that way. That’s just how it goes.

    This is a choice. It hurt in him in 2016 and he never really spent the time to learn that fluency over the intervening four years. I wrote this a year ago. I stand by it.

    This has always struck me as one of those situations where neither party is knowingly lying. The biggest problem here is the same one he has always had — he can’t admit the possibility that he made a mistake. He’d rather call his friend a liar than say “oops, I misspoke, sorry.”
