Maybe if I leave the office a mess I can cultivate a professorial mystique where no one knows what I do but everyone thinks I'm brilliant.

Splashdown of #Apollo11 occurred 54 years ago today. Our descent back through the heat of Earth’s atmosphere was appropriately capped with a cool dip in the Pacific, and our recovery by our dedicated military services solidified a safe and successful return from the Moon. The splashdown operation marked the start of after-action work ahead following our quarantine. In many ways, the end of Apollo XI was really just the beginning.

I like that everyone on Twitter gets to experience what its like to work at a university: youre struggling to make the thing do what its traditionally meant/valued to do while a bunch of finance guys “innovate” all function & trust away; occasionally embarrassing rebrands happen.

Ellen Terry’s famous Lady Macbeth “beetle wing” dress was designed for her by Alice Comyns Carr & was first worn on stage in Dec 1888. Meant to invoke fear, the addition of 1000 beetle wing cases created the effect of scales. Recently restored. #ShakespeareSunday #FolkloreSunday

With Trump back on Twitter,
it’s a good time to watch this Jan 6 hearing. It covers each of Trump’s tweets that day, including those that have been deleted, and features multiple Trump WH staff describing his inexcusable conduct during the violence. january6th.house.gov/legisla…

A little over 200 years ago, this ichthyosaur was found in Lyme Regis, almost certainly by Mary Anning. It was described in 1819 & named ‘Proteosaurus’.
Sadly, it was destroyed in London in 1941, during WWII.
This illustration (top) was the only evidence we had, until now...

Under the Biden-Harris Administration’s student loan debt plan, up to 27 million Pell Grant recipients earning less than $125,000 a year will be eligible for $20,000 in relief – helping those who need it the most.
ALT A graph showing that nearly all Pell Grant recipients come from families with incomes of $60,000 or less. 66% come from families earning $30,000 or less. 28% come from families earning $30,000 – $60,000. 7% come from families earning $60,000 or more.

Ballooning student loan balances make it harder for working and middle-class borrowers to buy a home or save for retirement.
The Administration’s proposal would cover borrowers’ unpaid monthly interest so their balance does not grow as long as they make their monthly payments.
ALT Question: What about the growing interest on my student loans? Answer: The Biden-Harris Administration's proposal for student borrowers means borrowers do not have to worry about ballooning balances. No borrower's loan balance will grow as long as they make their monthly payments – even when that monthly payment is $0 because their income is low.

This proposed income-driven repayment plan will save the typical borrower more than $1,000 each year. And the temporary changes to PSLF are changing lives right now. Apply here: PSLF.gov
