There are a lot of people trying to drag us backward in our commitment to scientific understanding. It's an awful agenda for human well-being. But it's also an awful agenda intellectually, morally, and spiritually.
I'd love to see more people making that case.
Checking in on the progress of Mars rover Perseverance....but on my pulp-style map of Jezero Crater!

Coach GowronWe often treat every activity as if it is something to be bested, an achievement to be unlocked. If singing brings you joy, sing for the joy of it, not because it is a skill you must master, must exploit. We should do more things for the glory of it, not the profit of it.
AkaSci 🛰️Sally Kornbluth, president of MIT:
"Many optimistic scientists are losing heart. Because the nation’s research enterprise is shrinking. Scientific funding is drying up. And the funds Congress recently allocated for science are not actually flowing.
There’s also damage to the pipeline of talent.
We need basic scientific research, supported by farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry. "

Julian SanchezI’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Mike MasnickGood time to speak up about this, at the same time Cornell's President is also facing scrutiny for, you know, hitting a student with his car.
Cornell desperately needs new leadership.
