Solvitur ambulando is my favourite Latin phrase. It means "it is solved by walking".

This is Emily. She is 6 and a half. She just discovered I'm a scientist. Immediately upon learning this, she asked if I knew any "Black Hole" scientists, and if I did, could I ask this question.
So, from Emily: Can black holes swallow other black holes?

@foushee.house.gov Rehmet didn't win this seat by being cautious but by being bold. You, your fellow Democratic Congresspeople, and the democratic leadership need to be listening--no funding for ICE, fight back on all fronts
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Someone on LinkedIn just asked me "why scientists should care and mobilize" right now.
But the answer is simple: BECAUSE IT IS THE MORALLY RIGHT THING TO DO.
People are being killed in the street, our democracy is being eroded, & we are watching the onset of authoritarianism before our eyes. 1/
