Thrilled to organize the 3rd Annual Emerging Leaders in Biomedical Engineering Symposium with Natasha Sheybani, PhD and Dan Abebayehu, PhD at Virginia BME. We will hear from six senior postdocs and our keynote speaker Erika Moore in exciting talks.

Last year, the student responsible for today’s shooting threatened to kill people at school. Because there wasn’t “probable cause,” the FBI made no arrests. Georgia doesn’t have a red flag law, so police also didn’t remove guns from the 13 year old’s home. wsbtv.com/news/local/bar…

Governor Kemp refuses to answer a question about how to make Georgia schools safer from gun violence: “This is not the day to talk about safety or policy. We need thoughts and prayers for the victims, law enforcement and educators.” Would he say that if a plane had just crashed?

This was not like the Parkland shooting. The FBI did follow up. The shooter and father were interviewed and investigated. The father did acknowledge having guns for "hunting." What do you do when the local but tragically inadequate local laws were followed and Dads AR 15 was

“Ask grandma to watch them for free” is not policy.

Georgia Governor: "Today is not the day for politics or policy…” It’s not too soon to talk policy—it’s too late. Over the last five years, Governor Kemp has passed ZERO policies to stop guns from falling into the wrong hands.

Enacting laws that reduce children’s access to AK15s, especially when a child has openly ideated shooting kids, shouldn’t be controversial. I think most Americans are sick of this and want common sense gun policies. Vote in candidates that will make this a priority!

THE FATHER BOUGHT THE FUCKING GUN AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT AFTER THE VISIT FROM THE FBI!!! This should be the moment that everyone can acknowledge the 2A, both gun rights activists and gun violence prevention activists, but also come to the realization that gun rights should never

Secret service and bulletproof glass for me, and permitless carry and no red flag laws and AR-15’s for disturbed kids for thee

Saying the quiet part out loud: JD Vance admits that Republican lawmakers view school shootings as a “fact of life” in America and just “the reality we live in.” FUCK. THAT.

When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims. If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline. If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state. Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.
