People probably wish I would not post political views, but here’s the thing. We are running out of time to mitigate the worst effects of #ClimateChange . If Trump is re-elected he will dismantle all the progress Biden/Harris made. It’s now or never. #VoteHarrisWalz2024

It's academic job search season. I can't understand some of these salaries I'm seeing posted. Assistant Professor roles for considerably less than what a classroom teacher makes. Not sure how these universities think they can recruit professors at these salaries. #AcademicTwitter

@mattmajendie I’m a big fan of climate change advocacy, but this type of protest just pisses people off. The kind that informs is much more likely to be effective. We are beyond the point where just calling attention to the issue is enough. We need to be informative.
