i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or β€œcontroversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

You got undergrads? We have summer programs! Please post, repost, and share. Applications opened early, now on the NSF ETAP portal. Neuroscience in Ann Arbor! YES, PLEASE!

Remember folks that we need to return to the old habit of reposting (retweeting) people's posts instead of liking them to allow the folks we think are cool to build their following. Let's continue to build one another's visibility as a community should.
