Are you a scientist or engineer seeking to engage with policymakers? (Great—the policy world needs your insight!) This new 3-week, self-paced @MITxonedX course from our @MIT_SHASS@MIT_CIS Policy Lab will help you contribute to shaping #PublicPolicy. bit.ly/ImpactPublicPolicy
Reminder: Primary in MA on Sept 3.
Spent yesterday knocking doors for @ElectCartwright for Clerk of MA SJC, because the woman who tirelessly represents me in Congress asked for our help & when @AyannaPressley believes in someone you know they're going to impress you. #vote
Anyone have suggestions for aurora viewing within a ~2hr drive of Boston tonight? Trying to triangulate across various maps of cloud cover, light pollution, etc. Thought it might be easier to just ask for suggestions!
Huge congrats @GGoldman46, new Assistant Director for Environmental Science, Engineering, Policy and Justice @WHOSTP
Gretchen was one of the 1st people I had the honor to work with and learn from in my #scipol career. Knowing she'll use #science to inform policy gives me #hope!
Elevating diverse voices is not just the responsibility of event organizers, but also the invited participants. Before you respond to your next request to speak on a panel, read this excellent resource by @GretchenTG and @kristydahlucs-documents.s3.amazonaws.c…
I especially appreciate the fact that there is specific suggested text to use to respond to panel invites. It makes taking concrete action so much more straightforward!
I just found out @BusinessInsider declared my labor of love project ("Tools for Academic Engagement in Public Policy") as one of the top 13 free online MIT courses!

Powerful statement by @DrReedTuckson at #AAASForum: If, after we pass this pandemic, we're still talking about Tuskegee and debating if we need to address health inequities, then shame on us. #scipol
Donald Trump has earned the scathing critiques of his rhetoric, policies, corrupt Administration & disgraceful debate performance. However, given the many descriptors at your disposal, I appeal to analysts not to say things like, he is on drugs, forgot his meds, clearly has ADHD.
I know the Trump tax stuff won't change anyone's mind about him as President. I would settle for it opening people's eyes to how broken our tax system is.
"White colleagues — initially flabbergasted at hearing about a racist incident I’ve faced — often follow up with denial and a desire to look outwards, but not inwards."
Addressing racism requires self-examination, a skill not taught in #Sciencenature.com/articles/d41586-0…
