@Flash43191300 HERE IS REAL #Chernobyl story. IN 1992, Bill Zoller, 79, visited Chernobyl a #UW chemistry professor who studied the atmosphere. #AEA asked Zoller, for his assessment of what was going on with Ukrainian reactor meltdown that had taken place on April 26, 1986. #nuclearmeltdown 
@Flash43191300 #Uranium, steel, concrete and sand had melted to form a radioactive, glasslike lava that melted through several #floors, eventually #solidifying in the #basement. Because of its shape, it was called the Elephant’s Foot.

@Flash43191300 his Ukrainian host gave him a photographic slide. It was of the Elephant’s Foot.
“Go ahead; pass the image around the West,” Zoller says the man told him. “I don’t have any way of getting it out there. @washingtonpost @guardian @NATO @USNATO

Why the internet is not only 500% too slow but also in a crisis: Follow this thread to read about it in just 5 Steps.

1. The Internet is structured by different layers: Physical Network (underground cables) Data-Link (WiFi/Lan) and Network Layer (IP-Adresses). You can picture this as the infrastructure of the internet.
2. Problem: We have too much traffic. More and more devices are trying to drive on the metaphorical streets (Computer, Smartphones, your refrigerator, #IoT's etc.), but if the streets are full of cars, it will cause traffic jams aka a #Bandwidthcrisis.
THREAD on #COVID19 testing: Keep getting asked why testing is so limited in America versus what S. Korea & others did. This is a good article that explains some of it. But here's my attempt to break it down more simply. propublica.org/article/how-so… 1./
To understand why testing is so limited here, there are 3 factors: 1) the availability of tests; 2) the ability to process tests; and 3) the restrictions that have been placed on testing, either from the federal or state levels. 2./
Just a reminder to #UW community members that today is about centering our students of color and not about confronting those who are participating in racist BS. There are two great ways to do that today: show up at the First Nations potlatch which starts at 10 at the HUB, or
show up at 12:10 to help be positive and present as high school students arrive to celebrate Polynesian Day. Sadly, one high school already pulled out of the event because the actions by campus republicans made them feel unwelcome.
If you cannot attend in person you still help center students of color and the work they are doing to celebrate/strengthen their communities by giving their events more exposure. You can also donate to First Nations UW via Venmo at fn-uw.

In the 1960s, no one believed that genetics were involved in cancer. While she was a student, they discovered BCR-ABL1 leukemia
