Fun fact: #Florida is a #STEM state. STEM jobs grew by 12.4% - twice the national average - over the last 5 years. And 36% of the state's GDP is directly attributable to STEM. New data from Science_is_US here: scienceisus.org/state-spotligh…

We live in a world of such deep misinformation that respected scientists - leaders in their fields - are stalked and harassed by those who have fallen prey to lies. And the science tells us myth-busting doesn’t work. We need to get to folks before the misinfo sets in.

As a McCourt School trained MPP working in science policy - I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to see Dr. Fauci's appointment. And how jealous I am of the current students who get to learn from him. What's the policy on alums auditing classes? ;-) #HoyaSaxa
