Dr. Lara Jones, a pediatric critical care specialist, still remembers her visceral reaction to the image of Liam Ramos. It wasn’t the most famous one, of the 5yo boy in a blue bunny winter hat and superhero backpack. It was one from days later, of him slumped in his father’s arms in custody in Texas

Until recently, the US S&T enterprise & higher ed systems were the envy of the world. The way it's being gutted is beyond heartbreaking. The US innovation engine is crumbling before our eyes. This moment in history is not just sad—it is profoundly tragic & represents an incalculable loss. So unreal.
