I just had a wonderful writing call with dissertating collaborators at U Michigan, Saf Milne & Archer Harrold. I am exploring with them what chemistry education looks like in Arctic Indigenous communities, and how teachers from outside of Alaska can serve the communities they are teaching in. 🧵

I'm on the Senate floor right now debating Trump's Big Ugly bill, and I really worry Americans do not fully realize just how bad it is. Please help get the word out.   This is just SOME of what's in the bill (so far).
