I open my book with how it feels to be in front of the classroom, staring out at blank faces, unsure your words are having any impact at all. Then one day you get an email from a student revealing the impact you had on their life. I wanted this book to be that email for others.

American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.

I had to confirm off social media that he actually posted this video of "Trump Gaza" with a golden statue of himself and he and Netanyahu sipping cocktails at a pool built on a decimated war zone--it's too absurd and vile to believe at first. But he did.

New paper on informed consent! I’m so proud of this work led by @RachelSchlund. We show that regardless of how clueless WE feel about the terms we agree to when signing a contract or clicking accept, others assume we knew what we were getting into.
