.@hcmefford knows the importance of having access to a supportive, inclusive scientific culture. Learn how she’s creating these spaces for scientists in her cell and molecular biology lab at St. Jude. bit.ly/3P7e5fd #WomenInSTEMM

What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.

What a week. That’s why we play, and that’s why we play on the @PGATOUR. Got to battle against one of the best today and got out dueled, but not without a fight. Congrats to @McIlroyRory on his 21st (😉) win and an amazing finish. Can’t wait for @usopengolf!

The NBA makes me sick. It crumbled under social media pressure to "do the right thing" and wrongly suspend Dillon Brooks. It also obviously wants - NEEDS - beloved Steph to advance, not some upstart team from Memphis. Congrats, Association, Twitter owns and operates you.

With ESPN in town for their all-all access day, it has me thinking:
You have a friend visit Memphis for one day…what is your perfect 24-hour itinerary? Money/traffic/logistics are no issues.

When people say, “I’m not from Tennessee, I’m from Memphis,” this is what we mean. #VaccinesSaveLives

Not good, TN. Vaccines save lives and prevent long-term health consequences associated with *preventable* childhood diseases. And if we could get kids vax'd against COVID, this wouldn't be happening in our neighbor state 👇 localmemphis.com/article/new…
SCOOP: Tennessee Department of Health halts all vaccine outreach to kids – not just for COVID-19, but all diseases – amid pressure from GOP. Staff ordered to remove the agency logo from any documents providing vaccine info to the public, per internal dox. tennessean.com/story/news/he…

Biden feels at home speaking to the Black community. He made a joke. Comedy ain’t easy, but he didn’t say 2 go shoot Clorox in our tits. Now, I wouldn’t make a blanket statement to say that voting for Trump means you’re not Black. I would say that it means you’re not smart.
