I am humbled by the response to this and I have one ask. Can you share this post so that we can get 75K likes? It is the most impactful thing @sabrevaya and I can do to save our democracy.

Okay now I'm really curious. How do people acquire a story-telling styles that keep people listening? Probably obvious to others but there's a style of pause and cadence that sticks. How do you know what sticks? And how do you adapt to it as a speaker?

Jim Collins' voice is so memorable. I'll never forget BU undergrad class, Signals and Systems, lectured by him. Every class I was very excited to listen and take notes. I think I may still even have that notebook.

1) Your well-being must be your priority. It's easy to become so focused on the end goal that we sacrifice all to get there. But if you arrive at your destination as a hollow shell of who you are, you have missed the mark of building a better life in the very pursuit of it.

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table. In the…

Since the discovery of CRISPR-Cas systems, people have wondered if a similar type of system exists in eukaryotes. Today, we report in @Nature the characterization of Fanzor, a eukaryotic RNA-guided system that can be reprogrammed for human genome editing. nature.com/articles/s4158…

As someone from an extremely poor background who excelled academically (perfect scores in math meets, captain of mock trial team, award for highest state test scores, etc), this merit argument is a joke. It was hard at every level for me to succeed in academic environments:
