Are you a scientist or engineer seeking to engage with policymakers? (Great—the policy world needs your insight!) This new 3-week, self-paced @MITxonedX course from our @MIT_SHASS @MIT_CIS Policy Lab will help you contribute to shaping #PublicPolicy. bit.ly/ImpactPublicPolicy

Reminder: Primary in MA on Sept 3. Spent yesterday knocking doors for @ElectCartwright for Clerk of MA SJC, because the woman who tirelessly represents me in Congress asked for our help & when @AyannaPressley believes in someone you know they're going to impress you. #vote

Anyone have suggestions for aurora viewing within a ~2hr drive of Boston tonight? Trying to triangulate across various maps of cloud cover, light pollution, etc. Thought it might be easier to just ask for suggestions!

Huge congrats @GGoldman46, new Assistant Director for Environmental Science, Engineering, Policy and Justice @WHOSTP Gretchen was one of the 1st people I had the honor to work with and learn from in my #scipol career. Knowing she'll use #science to inform policy gives me #hope!

Elevating diverse voices is not just the responsibility of event organizers, but also the invited participants. Before you respond to your next request to speak on a panel, read this excellent resource by @GretchenTG and @kristydahl ucs-documents.s3.amazonaws.c…

I especially appreciate the fact that there is specific suggested text to use to respond to panel invites. It makes taking concrete action so much more straightforward!

Powerful statement by @DrReedTuckson at #AAASForum: If, after we pass this pandemic, we're still talking about Tuskegee and debating if we need to address health inequities, then shame on us. #scipol

Consistently proud of the fact that @AyannaPressley represents me.

Donald Trump has earned the scathing critiques of his rhetoric, policies, corrupt Administration & disgraceful debate performance. However, given the many descriptors at your disposal, I appeal to analysts not to say things like, he is on drugs, forgot his meds, clearly has ADHD.

I know the Trump tax stuff won't change anyone's mind about him as President. I would settle for it opening people's eyes to how broken our tax system is.

Justice is on the ballot today in Massachusetts. It's time to vote and it's time to ask what your country can do for you.

"White colleagues — initially flabbergasted at hearing about a racist incident I’ve faced — often follow up with denial and a desire to look outwards, but not inwards." Addressing racism requires self-examination, a skill not taught in #Science nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Too many senior white academics still resist recognizing racism

Nature - As a Black woman who is the chair of a university science department, people have questioned my right to exist at every stage.
