The best thing we can do for the health of our children, and for the thousands of educators across Oregon, is to give everyone certainty by announcing the decision today to close in-person classes for the remainder of the school year.

Extending the closure of Oregon’s K-12 schools through April 28 keeps critical social distancing measures in place for students, parents, and teachers, slowing the spread of coronavirus and reducing the demands on our healthcare system. myoregon.gov/2020/03/18/gove…

This is a trying time for our community and I am reluctant to increase the burden on families who are already struggling during this crisis. I want to thank all of the teachers and school employees who have worked hard to keep our schools open until now. myoregon.gov/2020/03/12/gove…

Murray Gell-Mann 1929-2019. A prodigious intellect and an extraordinarily influential theoretical physicist. Strangeness, the renormalization group, V-A theory, SU(3) symmetry, quarks ... This and much more we owe to Murray. It's a sad day @Caltech and for the world of physics.

I’m co-sponsoring @SenSanders' #MedicareForAll bill. Health care should be a right for all, not a privilege just for the healthy & wealthy.

Apparently high-energy physics is in for devastating cuts (thread). Hard to believe the US would abandon scientific leadership so readily. teapawt.org/physicsmatt/status/872…
