Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?

Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I just read an article about the super-duper effects of EVOO, and I had no idea what it was, I googled it, and so you don't have to: it's extra virgin olive oil. The superfood. Guh. 😶

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥

We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪

When you are able to publish bullshit in a #predatory journal: look at the title, author and affiliation, which the editor was unable (?) to identify....

😅 spot on. there's noone coming to save you, you have to heal and help yourself.
I try to give myself grace when I am tired or not feeling well. But when I find myself sliding into self-pity mode over boredom or loneliness I gotta pull out my best Dowager Countess impression.

How’s America doing? My dad just had a chat with me about avoiding doing anything that may attract political attention from on-edge people.

On a more cheery note, I have humbly returned a lost wallet to its rightful owner to much delight of the forgetful proprietor. Alas, work has been cumbersome and mostly in vain.😅
After a day most wearisome, spent in ceaseless correspondences multiplying without end, I seek retreat in computation, as though in research I might find sanctuary from such clamour. Here am I, in my chamber, attended by a glass of wine and the solemn company of Law & Order, embracing solitude.

In my long, long, long experience with the anti-vaccination movement, I can promise you that you cannot use facts to change an opinion that is not based on facts.

These people want to believe—that they know more, that scientists want to hide the benefits of crap like raw milk so they can “profit”…

Apropos of everything, does anyone have recommendations for good books / documentaries / etc. about the history of Lysenkoism?

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community.

An "evolutionary biologist" who's now on the payroll at a think tank that made its name pushing creationism. Clearly a man of principle and commitment to academic excellence we're dealing with here

Every "tech" guy is just a VC guy in a subculture that gets called "tech" for no particular reason. Most real "tech" - like, i dunno, cutting edge materials research - doesn't get called that while "a new pizza delivery app" does
I am going to be so fascinated to read the post-mortem about how a revolt lead by tech billionaires lead to a gutting of both scientific research, university education and immigrant labor, all key prerequisites to the very existence of their industries.
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'."
