@JReinerMD It’s frankly embarrassing being on an elite university campus that took so much credit for setting the gold standard early in the pandemic, and is now doing NOTHING. Universities need to step up and lead here. Otherwise, WHAT’S THE POINT? 🧵↕️

@Soylent_Spring I empathize with all of this. I do want to push back on one small thing, however: ✨ It is not too late to start masking ✨ Ofc it won’t prevent cases that are already occurring, but it is still possible to cut transmission by wearing a mask tomorrow; even if you didn’t today.

Cornell students left 'panicked' and 'frustrated' by abrupt campus shutdown amid COVID-19 spike

Nearly 300 cases were reported on Tuesday, putting the campus total at 903 student cases this week, according to the university's online tracker.

If we want ALL kids vaccinated, we 👏 need 👏 universal 👏 parent 👏 PTO for vaccination day, and for the duration of potential side effects. Let’s group this into similar incentives to VACCINATE PARENTS AT THE SAME TIME. @uche_blackstock {Paging @POTUS @WHOSTP }

I lost my writing buddy 10 weeks ago, and honestly I had no idea how hard it would still be. She always wanted to be with me when I sat down to work, and I didn’t realize how much I’d feel the absence of this little 4-lb purring machine. 😓💔 #PhDLife #AcademicTwitter

I’m the only Cornellian quoted in this article. Since Friday morning, I have had multiple distraught faculty members reach out to me to share their stories. Some *literally* have already been told to just take leave. I’m humbled AND furious.

Take 2 minutes to sit back, turn on the audio, and watch the happiest little #beagle take a computer break ❤️

The Beagle’s begging game is so strong that I only feed her 75% of the recommended amount of her food, knowing fully well that I’m incapable of resisting sharing my own…
