Anti ICE protests have arrived in Chicago. Every liberal city in the US is in big trouble. I’m afraid this is only the beginning.

Dear California, Our offer still stands. Love, Canada 🇨🇦❤️

The June issue of Science #Robotics is out! This month's cover depicts a soft robotic #gripper for plant leaves that can perform nondestructive precision #agriculture techniques such as gene editing or nanosensor delivery. scim.ag/3FJww7y

FEMA scraps new hurricane plan, reverting to last year’s guidance despite program cuts and staff reductions. Rest assured they are „laser focused“. Now that they figured there actually is a hurricane season what could possibly go wrong? wsj.com/politics/polic…

Heading back after a wonderful journey taking me to Atlanta (ICRA) and Detroit (AAMAS). Loved every inch of it, including discussions on Steiner trees with ETH Zurich folks just prior to boarding. @discoETH @openswarm_eu @SheffUniEng @TUDarmstadt
