I am also concerned, Carl ☹️
Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

The US is so NOT ok
I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

I finished Careless People and I am stunned at how many near death experiences the author has had. And not at all surprised about the moral bankruptcy of company elites, but a bit at the whole Sheryl Sandburg bed plane thing.

No matter how hard they try to erase the contribution of our first women soldiers, you can’t stop the waves. My grandmother Eileen Tynan proudly served. 🫡

My Grandmother was a WAVE in WWII who worked on breaking Nazi codes. She was incredibly proud of being part of the first generation of women in the US military. I am glad she has passed and doesn’t have to see her legacy being stuffed into a box in the corner as if it never mattered. 😔
Materials on the Arlington National Cemetery website highlighting the graves of Black and female service members have vanished. The cemetery, which is operated by the Army, said it was working to restore the content. Among the obscured pages was material about civil rights.

Now would be a good time for Chuck Schumer to grow a spine. All of NY deserves so much better than this cowardice.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

The Republican budget bill is "a terrible option," Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, writes in a guest essay. But "the risk of allowing the president to take even more power via a government shutdown is a much worse path."

One of the plethora of things I appreciate about IBM’s CEO Arvind Krishna is his ability to see through the BS and ignore the noise.

“This perspective misses the most crucial aspect of science: the skill to ask the right questions and to challenge even what one has learned.”

I shared a controversial take the other day at an event and I decided to write it down in a longer format: I’m afraid AI won't give us a "compressed 21st century"
