“Question: What is a woman?
Answer: A woman is not a what. A woman is a who.
I'd observe that once you ask who is a woman, you get billions of different wonderful and extraordinary answers, but you no longer get to police which women get to keep their humanity, and to what degree.
Who is a woman? I'd say it's always somebody who knows they are a women. Wouldn't you?”

I keep finding your posts motivating and inspiring so I thought you might like an anecdote from our travels last summer. We were in Denmark for GTD Summer Camp in Kobæk Strand and decided to enjoy a few days in Copenhagen before flying back to the US. I wanted us to see the Kastellet ( the active Danish base and Armory). After walking around, my wife so needed a restroom (or as they say in Denmark, toilet). We stumbled upon a small building “the Danish Resistance” museum. And we entered. They did indeed have toilets downstairs and the most compelling experience of our visit. It was how they fought the Nazi occupation.
If you are ever there, it is moving and worth the time. It is nearly all underground, as was the resistance. The audio they played of the ambient sounds while the narrators told their story put you right there.
As we are, right now. And you give us hope and success stories to follow.
If I could change one thing about US culture, it would be this unshakeable and absolutely backward belief that life must be earned, and generating profit is how you earn it.
Life is a human right. Profit must be earned, and those who want to earn it must respect human rights in order to do so.
I wrote about life, the universe, and everything, and how how present fascist nightmare is the result of an unnaturally submerged life.
What is the purpose of humanity? We are beings of awareness, not efficiency. Let's start there as see where it takes us.
Science thrives at the edge of persistence and possibility.
Breakthroughs rarely follow straight lines—they come from setbacks, questions, and showing up.
In a fractured world, connecting #science to society has always been challenging—but also essential. This moment is no different.
