Have you seen the video about @BYU_PASCAL's experience making acoustical measurements at the @NASAArtemis I launch of @NASA_SLS? I'm so grateful @BYU students get to have these kinds of experiences.

Fascinating. Not going to comment on @Harvard's issues, but I'm teaching a physics class on noise this semester. Would be interested to know more about the building's construction, the proximity of the protestors to the exam takers, and if the protestors had hearing protection.

Any Harvard graduate student who participated in this planned class disruption should be disciplined to the fullest extent possible under Harvard’s policies.

The professor tried to move the class and couldn’t. His students were disrupted while trying to complete an in-class exam.

Completely unacceptable.

Australian officials have issued a reminder to shut your car doors after one wombat helped himself to several passenger seats. The notice followed complaints from visitors at a popular picnic area, where the same wombat reportedly kept climbing into parked cars while people unloaded bags or packed up lunch.

At first, staff thought they were receiving several calls about one incident. Then they realized the cars were different. The passenger wasn’t.

One couple waited nearly an hour before he climbed out. Another visitor said he settled into the seat before she’d even finished putting her things in the boot. Officials asked visitors to keep their doors closed and contact staff if they found an unexpected occupant.

After the photos spread online, a park spokesperson clarified the situation. “He hasn’t been abandoned. He lives here. Please stop calling to say someone’s left their wombat in a car.”

This is as political as I will get on here. I thank Elder @PatrickKearon for his message.

“Let’s use politics as an example.

“We need to listen to, we need to watch, we need to talk to those who don’t share our ideas.

“Recognize step-by-step that above all, they are children of God too. They want happy lives for themselves and happy lives for their children and grandchildren.

“Watch your rhetoric and be calm. Be considerate. Be thoughtful as you consider the ideas, the ideologies, the positions of others. Come close and understand them.

“You may never fully agree, and that’s OK, but be a voice for peace.”

Elder Patrick Kearon, “Avoiding the Poles,” December 1, 2020.
