According to Twitter, Claus Wilke is a professor of integrative biology at the University of Texas at Austin. After reading the San Francisco Chronicle’s article about how educators, along with anyone not super wealthy or named Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, are wildly unhappy with the tax “reforms” being proposed, Claus put together a succinct Twitter thread that has since gone viral.
Piggy-backing on this sentiment, theoretical physicist Matthew Buckley gave a more granular explanation on how even the best graduate school situations would be devastated by these tax cuts.
After the thread exploded via shares, numerous questions came in for Buckley, which he tried answering in the thread replies.
