America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

TEACHABLE MOMENT
Superman entered without inspection. This means that:
A) He cannot get status by marrying Lois Lane.
B) He is the victim of crimes, so U visa, but the wait is 15 (?) years(ish)!
C) ICE will argue he is not eligible to even ask for bond.
D) No DACA eligibility (it’s closed anyway)

Some state medical schools will no longer host a speaker like me who professes immigrants are people with human dignity because it might anger their state legislature. So, I now accept speaking invitations from student groups of any size. Disrupt the #spiralofsilence

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Anything or anyone posting misinformation about the Pope will be immediately blocked from my social media feeds. Clearly there are those who wish to divide us by trying to persuade us that he engages in petty culture wars. Check your quotes, my friends. This is too important a moment. #PopeLeoIV

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
