Horrible timing: n As @Harvard states that all courses will be online-only this coming Fall, the Trump administration just announced that students on F1 and M1 student visas attending online-only schools need to leave the country.

THE RELIEF I feel as a scientist, future professor, anti-racist, feminist, son/brother of Colombian immigrants, and first generation AMERICAN is too immense for words. We must learn from our 4 year nightmare and work toward a brighter future for our country. #Election2020 🇺🇸
