Sister Mary Kenneth Keller was born #OTD in 1913. She worked with John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz on the design and implementation of Beginner’s All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code — BASIC — and was the first woman in the US to earn a PhD in Computer Science.

In fact, she wasn’t just the first woman to earn a PhD in Computer Science in the US - she was almost the first person, period. She and Irving Tang both received their degrees on June 7, 1965. But Tang’s degree was awarded earlier in the day.

The 19th lecture of Timothy Snyder’s class on the "Making of Modern Ukraine” is out. The full course — watched by millions of people this semester — is available on YouTube and as a podcast series on Apple and #Spotify.

I’m sure some of you wondered too. It’s science afterall!

My midlife crisis was going to be quitting twitter anyway so this has all been very convenient for me

Strong plenary opening of #CellBio2022 so far: one of my preferred Nobel prize winners (Martin Chalfie), an award for @NeedhiBhalla@twitter.com, and a shoutout to @ReviewCommons@twitter.com

Time for a proper #Introduction here: I am a #scientist working in #immunology. I am especially interested by how the immune system functions at barrier sites, during #autoimmunity, and how it is altered during #inflammation. I also strongly advocate for increasing scientific literacy, fighting #misinformation, promoting #equity , and prevent #ClimateChange

I feel like part of what we’re experiencing in this country, and really in a lot of countries, is the collapse of identity, which in the U.S. used to be rooted in a white, Christian-centered worldview that only had to account for other people when it came to sports and entertainment. The majority now has to cope with the reality of growing political and social equality, and the attendant demands to expand the notion of national history and identity. Some folks are taking it hard.
