I'm a professor at Michigan State University in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Department of Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering. I write here about a lot of different things and share what media I'm consuming.

WE JUST GOT DOGE’D
no funding for this year. We have to cancel the program and email 450 applicants there will be no REU program in physics at MSU.
First time in 20+ years.
I’m fucking livid, y’all.
Tonight, my colleague and I joined a townhall that was organized by undergraduate students in our department. The slides I delivered are embedded below.
Our students expressed concerns about the recent federal actions and executive orders that are valid and prescient, and have far-reaching implications. Our students are from Michigan, from across the US, and from countries all over the world. They represent an incredible slice of the diversity we hope to see in STEM.
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) represents a part of the Atlanta suburbs and ex-urban areas that is deeply Republican. Here’s a video of his recent townhall meeting where his constituents are angry about the president’s cutting of the federal workforce seemingly indiscriminately.
Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists
