With everything happening at the NSF, you might have missed that they also dissolved 12 of their advisory committees last week.

The committees helped ensure that the NSF supported important science and did so effectively.

The American college experience—earning a degree to join the middle class while coming of age on a pastoral campus with sororities and sports—may be over.

Trump's attacks on higher ed impact much more than just Columbia or scientific research. They put the whole idea of college at risk.

If they persist, Donald Trump’s attacks on universities will destroy a cornerstone of American life.

3+ hour walking history tour of Munich covering the history of the Nazi regime.

We would all be better off if we’d cover and internalize our histories like the Germans do, rather than try to avoid them.
