Tweet Tuesday: "Chegg Is How I Passed Physics"

This week's tweet contains a special shout-out to all of our physics authors. It's finals season, and you all might just be saving some lives (or at the very least, saving some grades). Either way, it's very much appreciated by students everywhere.

We should probably do fireworks like this once this is all over... no?
