60 years ago today, NASA launched one of the most important human spaceflights in American history. My dear friend John Glenn will forever be remembered as the first American to orbit the Earth. His record-breaking flight demonstrated true American ingenuity at its finest. 🇺🇸

Wow! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Say what you want about President Donald J. Trump but nobody in America history has served as VP for a Black President, selected a Black woman to be his Vice President JD Vance, nor nominated a Black Woman to be a Supreme Court Justice. Respect

This rings true, esp in times of crisis and change.

We’re witnessing a GOP assault on LGBTQ+ kids. In Arkansas, they've banned health care for trans kids. In Florida, they've demonized LGBTQ+ kids in the classroom. And now in Texas, they're investigating parents of trans kids as “abusers.” It’s sick. And plain wrong.

1st time I read the color of law, couldn’t believe how discriminatory our country was in recent history at federal, state & local levels. Seeing it continue is abhorrent. Still so much work to do to fix inherently bias systems. #stopdiscrimination bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-…

The interconnectedness of our economy and the focus on growing talent at every level Kenn Turner talks about is exactly why we built the WPI BETC.

My research group is raising $$ for PanCAN #PurpleStride (4/30). PanCAN's mission is to improve the lives of those affected by pancreatic cancer. They have also funded our pancreatic cancer research & we want to give back. Please consider donating! support.pancan.org/goto/dynamite-…

This is so exciting!!! Love working at a university so committed to DEI!

We're ~2.5 weeks from #PurpleStride & still raising $$! I am honored to have been asked to speak at the Boston event. I plan to share my experiences in pancreatic cancer research and how the PanCAN grant has impacted my research program. Share, RT, & Donate if you can!

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.

I hope to see the day when a newer generation doesn’t understand why such a day is necessary because we’ve actually learned to value all humans. #internationaldayagainsthomophobia

Grateful to the New Bedford Whaling Museum for an excellent talk tonight. Cannot wait to see this exhibition on Sailing to Freedom! #BlackHistory whalingmuseum.org/exhibition/sai…

I’ll trade you all the moments of silence, for one moment of action.

The student debt fight is why understanding the history of race construction, racism, race hierarchy is critical. Our divestment in public goods begins with integration & Black people getting access.Large # white people oppose economic policies if they think Black people benefit.

Brought my two passions together last night at the sailing museum in Newport #girlsinstem and #sailing. Proud to support The Maiden Factor mission to empower girls through education.

She’s amazing 🤩
