Patrick Stewart story:
Night before my GCSE Chemistry, I waited for Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart backstage after Waiting For Godot. Patrick asked what’s in my bag, I told him about my exam. So Stewart and McKellen told the Green Room to “shush” as they both tested me on the Periodic Table.
RIP

The Trump admin wants to impose a $70,000 fee on intl researchers who succeeded in US PhD programs nd want to stay in the US for their first research job. Nearly all will take their talents elsewhere, to our great loss.
Follow the linked instructions to file your comments — they make a difference!!
Follow the linked instructions to file your comments — they make a difference!!
This is clearly mad & self-defeating, unless you want to set up the US to fail in a highly competitive science and technological world.
But you can fight back.
@apsphysics.aps.org has provided a nice explainer and three-step process to file YOUR comment about the regulations, even non-members. 👇👇

For decades, scientists believed that plastics were some of the safest materials around. Now, a new study shows just how flawed that assumption was.
A range of studies have found links between microplastic exposure and various health problems.

How Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)
The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.
