Get this trending. Taljegard still has a chance if the Swedish Skating Fed pushes to send her - there's no one being sent for figure skating at this moment, and the Swedish Skating Fed can choose to nominate one person to go
Open letter to the Swedish Fed: Josefin Taljegard has been one of the bright spots and absolute unique voices in figure skating this season It would be a real shame if the sports world didn't get to see the special talent she has to offer in - it's in your hands now #Beijing2022

This is Emily W. Murphy. She’s a Trump appointee at the GSA who is declining to sign the letter authorizing the Biden transition to begin. Give her a call and tell her you want Biden treated like every other president-elect. 1-844-472-4111
Retweet if you agree that the president should reveal his full medical records.

It’s just wrong what they are doing to @govincentzhou with the under rotation calls. Go ahead skating word .... Keep wondering why the public scratches their heads at scoring & stops watching figure skating #skateamerica

Ok. I respect the competitive approach. But no cannot do this set up. It's not a program. She killed time in the beginning and then just jumped the second half. It's not a performance. I understand that this is what the system allows but it's not all figure skating is about

As you're at the end of your job hunt, make sure you do a full evaluation of your offer! Ask for something if it’s missing. If you don’t ask, the answer is guaranteed to be no. #postdoc (it may not be yes, but you'll be glad you asked) lnkd.in/eSjyY34

Fantastic career advice from @gaiavs! Especially: it's never too late, that you sometimes go sideways to go up. I've been using the ‘Chutes and Ladders’ analogy for years. Might need to bring it to the next couple #postdoc social events lnkd.in/ejhf_jH

Very cool (pun intended) PhD career advice from @gaiavs illustrating how aspects of figure skating mirror common PhD career concerns: ihenow.com/2D6cIWv lnkd.in/emqad54

Likely half of all cave people died by age 12 from now-preventable causes. Insight not lost on the @NewYorker's Alex Gregory.
