I sent a Quack-O-Gram and you can too! Show your support for science by sending your Congressional representatives a ducking message about the importance of strong leaders in our science agencies.

Stand Up for Science! @standupforscience.bsky.social · 21d

You asked for it! We delivered Quack-O-Grams to our members of Congress urging them to #ImpeachRFK, and get that Quack out of office!

There's still time for you to get in on this fluffy, feathery action: Send your own duck at zurl.co/W1ZnB and keep the momentum going! 🦆

Thank you for your work in government, I'm sorry you are getting dragged by these clowns. They seem to want to make working for government so risky that no one will want to do it.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Thank you Sho Sato and @igda.org Japan for organizing the Kyoto Serious Games Summit! I was sad to need to attend remotely but enjoyed the opportunity to hear more about Japanese serious games. May there be many more future events!

As we see fleets of drones attacking cities in the Russia/Ukraine war, at the same time as food and aid trucks are being blocked getting into Gaza, I can't help but wonder -- would fleets of drones be an effective way to deliver food and aid in war zones?
