“What we need now is for the scientific community to come and tear this work to shreds,” said Clara Sousa-Silva, a molecular astrophysicist at MIT who worked on the paper. “As a scientist, I want to know where I went wrong.” latimes.com/science/story/…

Shout out to our students Jasmine and Kartik, and their mentor Tansu Daylan, for their incredible efforts. Learn about the #SRMP program, where high schoolers perform research in astrophysics and climate science, here: projects.iq.harvard.edu/shrimp/home

Disappointed in the The New York Times decision to not recognize the New York Times Tech Guild union today. I have loved speaking about my science with the unionized NYTimesGuild journalists in the past and it is unsettling to see NYT not granting the same labor rights to their entire workforce.

Think kids are too young to do original research? Come hear our group of #SRMP high-schoolers talk about their work on astrophysics and climate science. I'll be co-hosting the symposium with MIT Museum teens on May 21 @ 4 pm ET. Register here: mailchi.mp/harvard/srmp-s…

Join our Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP) this Friday at 4pm ET for its annual symposium! Our high school scientists will lead talks about their research. Attendees will also learn about the app process for the SRMP 2021-22 cohort. Register at: s.si.edu/3hBRPt1

Extremely proud of the MIT Graduate Student Union for demanding recognition from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The science of MIT is built on the talent and sweat of the graduate students, who are consistently undervalued, as well as mistreated by their superiors with depressing frequency. Stay strong #MITGSU! 💪💪

Drivers have casually destroyed the majority of the plastic dividers on the new Medford St cycling lane, making me feel more unsafe than when there was nothing. Somerville Infrastructure can we please get something more permanent and consequential?
