Teamsters president at the RNC: "We need corporate welfare reform. Under our current system, massive companies like Amazon, Uber, Lyft and Walmart take zero responsibilities for the workers they employ. These companies offer no real health insurance, no retirement benefits, no paid leave, relying on underfunded public assistance. And who foots the bill? The individual taxpayer. The biggest recipients of welfare in this country are corporations, and this is real corruption."

Hi @johniadarola, thank you for covering what happened in Ecuador. As an Ecuadorian we are devastated and feel hopeless that our beautiful country is drowning in violence. We were rooting for someone to fight against corruption. If you have question about Ecuador reach out

Conference kicked off with the groundfish anthem lead by Milton Love! What would be attending a scientific conference if we don’t make our own fun and find ways to amuse ourselves? 😝#WGC23 #groundfish #rockfish @wg23_ak

Complication of research on #ADHD
-It’s a neurodevelopmental disorder
-it’s herederary
-they have identified genes that produce less neurotransmitters
- studies have focused mostly on white males
-there is discrimination in diagnosis & lack of acess to treatment for minorities

Great idea for those who are teaching!
Lean into the AI thing and actually use it as a teaching tool! #AI #teaching 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Given chatGPT is a thing, here is an idea for exams:
1) For each question, require that students use chatGPT to find the answer, and copy it in full.
2) Write a critique of the chatGPT answer: what did it get right and what did it get wrong.
This actually tests understanding.

Oh my goodness yes!! Also true for other ND, like ADHD. This exact thing has gotten me in trouble, when I wasn’t able to see through the flowery langue or get the answers I needed and then did something wrong 😢
Great thread #Neurodivergent
