Just did a book event for Wakara’s America at the Bookworm in Omaha. One person, Merna, came. The staff and owner (hi Beth and Maddie!) felt bad for me. So they sat and listened. 1/

Donated to Harvard again. In my PhD cohort, close to half were international students. They made me a better scholar and colleague. They make America richer and smarter. alumni.harvard.edu/giving/givenow

We all have jobs to do in the next four years. Mine is to teach my students and care for their humanity. Proud to do that work inspired by a Nebraskan and to teach his legacy.
