My friend and colleague Remco Heesen once told me study of social epistemology of science made him "less trusting of any particular scientific paper but more impressed by science as a whole." I honestly think that's the right lesson to draw. But I think holding both attitudes doesn't come naturally.
The most important thing about science the public needs to remember is that the set of experimental and theoretical methods we refer to as "science" is the best, most reliable way of knowing we currently have.
It's rough around the edges but it works way better than anything else.

Watching people not realize this about his work, and then seeing it weaponized against climate policy, sent poor old Bruno Latour into a full-blown case of abyss gaze.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty.
My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

hey at least this will lead them to push the party away from unconditional loyalty to israel
EXCLUSIVE: A top Democratic strategist has launched new policy research and messaging hub, called Searchlight, with a goal of pushing the party toward the most effective, broadly popular positions.
Dems are quietly forming a think tank to help them win again
Searchlight, a name inspired by the birthplace of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, comes at a precarious moment for a Democratic Party.

Cosmology has its own standard model. But a model is not just a model, and the Standard Model is a different kind of thing:
Lambda-CDM Is Not Like the Standard Model
A statistician will tell you that all models are wrong, but some are useful. Particle physicists have an enormously successful model called the Standard Model, which describes the world in terms of seventeen quantum fields, giving rise to particles from the familiar electron to the challenging-to-measure Higgs boson. The model has nineteen parameters, numbers that aren't predicted by the model itself but must be found by doing experiments and finding the best statistical fit.

america is deeply evil
This jibes with contemporary reporting that the raids hit several residential buildings, in each case killing about 15 people and wounding more. Maybe a little more of the conversation should be about how cavalier we apparently are about bombing civilian homes? www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old blood & soil factory. So when Steve Bannon and Elon Musk promised to bring back Heil Hitler salutes, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

how does one continue in this field doing postdocs, when every other year it is highly likely you'll be deemed not worth continuing in this field? you publish papers that journals accept, so you think it is worth something, but the field as a whole then tells you you have not done anything useful

Do you ever get the feeling that Earth gravity is...a bit much? Tripping and falling should not be as big of a deal as it is.

is AOC's posturing supposed to be the good option here? I'm really confused. she's proved herself no better than any of the others in political instincts. she knows how to play the social media game better that's all. say the magic words that work on twitter or tiktok
Four examples of Democratic messaging since yesterday. I know which one I'm supporting. And voting for.
