Passing from the tyranny of Charles I to the tyranny of Cromwell is like taking a turn in a revolving door; the exertion merely puts you back where you started.

If every jobholder in Washington were driven into the Potomac tonight, their places would be taken tomorrow by others precisely like them. Nor have I any more respect for what the Duke of Wellington called “a revolution by due course of law” than I have for one of the terrorist

I have also been extremely cautious about taking revolutionary “ideologies” at anything like their face value. I have found that the façade of ideology counts for little; it is the too, too solid flesh of the human material behind it that really counts.

So, my buddy from Brazil has reminded me of career advice for young people around the world. Stay away from Newtonian Physics! You'll never enjoy another movie again. Antman and the Wasp? Scaling Laws, People! A superman super-punch? F=Ma! My life is so sad....

"Overcoming student resistance" means approximately opposite things in an active learning classroom vs a horrible Dickensian classroom.

Received this paper from a student in our Team-Based Learning class. The resistance is real. Such an exhausting semester with TBL & not sure the students of #IntroBio are any happier than usual (but grades & learning *are* better). @TBLearning @MiamiCTE htt…

If your friend says she feels relaxed, but you see that her fists are clenched, you may doubt her sincerity. Robots, on the other hand, might take her word for it. http://ow.ly/ehnq50jCr0Q

Imagine you are wearing an old-time dress shirt with long, stiff, starched, white cuffs. You could write a lot of notes on those cuffs. http://ow.ly/iYOs30mJQ0T
