I’m in a PhD program that’s only funded the first two years. I’m starting Year 3 in the fall and planned to apply for grants to support my research in Online Racism.

Guess I’m off to take out more loans—oh wait…

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

* Currently paused by Executive Order
** Grant reviews now all canceled

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Something about Tiktok getting banned for the potential of Chinese access to our data and then Americans banding together to make the direct Chinese version #1 on the app store the next day is poetic. What a weird chapter in this history books this will be

If the American people mobilized behind systemic racism, police brutality, and literally every other -ism the way they did TikTok, Inauguration Day would look reeeeealllly different.
