Soap! #Science As promised! But first, here's an easy way to make it. We're gonna make a "tertiary" soap using leftover scraps of soap. (did you save them up last week?)
This'll be super easy.
What you need:
leftover soap scraps (total enough to make a small bar)
yogurt container (8 oz. size)
microwave oven
freezer
cheese grater (optional)
What you do:
grate up all your soap scraps. put them in the bottom of the empty clean yogurt container so maybe 1/2 inch deep. (you can crumble them up too, but the grater will make it much easier).
Add a tiny bit of water, maybe enough to wet the grated soap about half way up.

1/ #ME: Feeling a way about the incuriosity/obvious bias in the press. Thought I'd annotate an article with my thoughts/analysis.
2/ #CPS: The CTU won’t agree to the money until it gets the other items on what Jackson calls its “social justice bargaining” agenda.

#ME How do Black and Brown children get anything w/o a justice oriented agenda? Or, a demand? Better question: Why don’t they already have it?
3/ #CPS: That includes everything from affordable housing , a dramatic increase in “community schools”, enforceable caps on class size, mandatory hiring of support personnel written into the contract and more teacher prep time with potential to shorten the school day.

Lots of Netanyahu defenders upset with me for saying that a prime minister of a state founded on ethnic cleaning, who engages today in a form of ethnic cleansing, is warning others against ethnic cleansing. So here's a quick #thread on some basic facts for the pearl-clutchers:
1/
Lots of Israelis who get offended by the term "ethnic cleansing" are fine with it if you replace it with a softer term like "transfer", e.g."Nearly half of Jewish Israelis agree that Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel" - 2016 Pew poll2/timesofisrael.com/plurality-of-j…
Israeli historian Professor Ilan Pappé wrote an entire book called "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" in 2006, on the events of 1948, which was described as an "important" account and a "major intervention" by British and Israeli academics alike:

Digital ink, fleeting soundbites, and impatience for depth > collateral societal damage. Our brains are adapting without thought of consequence.

More than 6,000 years ago, our brains created a new circuit which enabled literacy. It’s not genetic but environmental. #Thread
“Thinking, Fast and Slow” documents the challenge of moving from emotional (fast) to thoughtful (slow) reactions when communication was slower and paper-based. Now, with frictionless likes/shares and bite-sized windows into text on phones...

Researchers like @MaryanneWolf_ point out that “slower, time-demanding deep reading processes” help the brain (us!) think critically, form empathy, develop logic (reasoning). Yet our smartphone/Kindle/iPad culture discourages those practices.

A quick #thread on the importance of #mentorship and critical #feedback in writing. I’m targeting students, trainees, and younger faculty who struggle with the #mentoring process- I’ll share some vulnerability to demonstrate a #growthmindset- I’ll also recommend 2 books.
1/
A couple of weeks ago I was invited by @AnnalsATS to write an editorial for a paper. I loved the topic so I quickly agreed and started ordering my thoughts. It was a quick turnaround- 2 weeks, so I had to get moving.
2/
I worked diligently on the draft and invited @vitaincerta to co-author- she is smart as a whip and a terrific writer and I knew she would really help to shape a well-written piece. She agreed and I sent her my #ShittyFirstDraft.
