    Most third-world migrants can not assimilate into civil societies. Prove me wrong.

    I went to @deanza_college because I sucked at math. Then got my doctorate in math and became the first U.S. Chief Data Scientist. Thank you community college and thank you to the amazing faculty that make it real

    It doesn’t have to be like this. It’s a choice we’re making. We must take aggressive action now

    -Total cost $400M -Found evidence of H20 -Inspired millions to race for the starts Lesson is science delivers in ways that we can't imagine, but we all benefit from
    The Mars Opportunity rover was the hardest working robot in the solar system. It was supposed to last three months and travel just 1,100 yards, but it went for 15 years, 28 miles and 5,000 charge cycles 1/ trib.al/bNPONMF #ThankYouOppy

    I failed my first PhD qualifier in math. 2nd lowest score. The lowest, was the guy who didn’t show up. Next year was the high score. Hard things are hard. Stick with it and it’s rewarding beyond belief
    4 years ago I got a 0 on a quantum physics exam. i met with my professor fearing i needed to change my major & quit physics. today, i’m in a top tier astrophysics Ph.D program & published 2 papers. STEM is hard for everyone—grades don’t mean you’re not good enough to do it.

    ALL data on COVID should be OPEN & MACHINE READABLE BY DEFAULT!!! It’s the people’s data. There’s no reason to keep in a binder PS all data should be open and machine readable by default
    Today @PressSec held up a binder and said: "Dr Birx for weeks has been sending out this data to governors — 400 pages of data to our governors — so that they have the best information to make the best decisions for their people in their respective states."
