W. E. Moerner sits in a cave of circuitry and paper, a tight little world of wires, radios, bright drawers, and half finished projects. Hard to believe this quiet corner belongs to a Nobel Prize winning chemist who showed the world that a single molecule could be seen.

The thing regular people don’t often grasp about ‘academic freedom’ is that if you don’t allow experts to research & teach in their fields of expertise, guided by their professional judgment & decades of training, you have effectively given up on the concept of knowledge & shut down your university
Universities are moving rapidly to comply with laws that don't exist.
“I’m emotionally shellshocked right now,” said one professor in the Texas Tech system. “What does it say about academic freedom? It says we don’t have it.” The professor spoke by phone from the inside of a car to avoid being overheard by colleagues.

It is not good for society to have a generation of people like us whose career ambitions have been either stymied by economic disaster or actively trod on by our political system.
