One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

After receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the future of a device to help children with heart defects is uncertain.

📢 Folks. It’s not “underrepresented”, it is “historically excluded”. There is a big difference. One can just happen. The latter more accurately describes the active systemic efforts that keep some out of science and academia. 📢

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

"little balls of fluff and attitude".... so true! 😅. Carolina wrens also punch way above their weight class when it comes to their very loud calls. They sometimes sound like they are in our house! Tiny but mighty!

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The Trump Admin sent armed marshals in a mafia-style intimidation campaign to silence and intimidate a witness set to testify in my spotlight hearing with @schiff.senate.gov. Today, Liz Oyer appeared undaunted, standing for what is right, lawful and just, to give her testimony.
