Thank you @andersoncooper for having me on to talk about the Afghan refugees @LIRSorg is working to relocate out of harm’s way. History will judge us on how many we evacuate, but also how many we leave behind. #EvacuateOurAllies

Story of a 66-year-old researcher, an immigrant, who rarely got grants, never got her own lab, never earned more than $60K. For four decades, she kept working on mRNA—a path considered foolish. Her work is the basis for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. nytimes.com/2021/04/08/healt…

No one's yet made a workable solution for web micropayments, but one aspirational design metaphor I like is an electricity meter.

Food delivery workers are keeping Americans fed, but they don’t receive a minimum wage or basic labor protections. We must stop gig companies from exploiting their employees by misclassifying them as contractors. #ProtectEssentialWorkers nytimes.com/2020/11/30/nyreg…

An example of the subtlety of barriers in social services:
For food stamps (SNAP), a phone interview is required. Often that means you get a cold call from a blocked number, and if you'd don't pick it up, it's on you to reschedule.
But often it's *really* hard to reschedule.

This is a straw man.
The problem isn’t the ads. It’s Facebook’s unwillingness to regulate those ads and their inability to control organic disinformation on their platform—which they’re now letting run wild during a critical moment for our democracy.
Facebook alerted political strategists today that the company plans to extend its ban on political ads for another month, upending digital ad preparations for two Georgia Senate runoffs that will decide control of Congress politico.com/news/2020/11/11…
