Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake.
The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time.
The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.

Resilience is not resistance to suffering. It’s the capacity to bend without breaking.
Strength doesn’t come from ignoring pain. It stems from knowing that your past self has hurt and your future self will heal.
Fortitude is the presence of resolve, not the absence of hardship.

Thousands of research projects—some years in, with taxpayer money already spent—were wiped out by Trump’s budget cuts.
At the Science Fair of Lost Research, scientists showed what was lost: cancer breakthroughs, climate solutions, public health progress.

When political power silences science, we all lose. From climate to health, anti‑science agendas erode progress.
Scientists, institutions, and leaders must speak up - or risk letting ideology undermine academic freedom and evidence-based discovery.

In the face of anti-science politics, silence is not without cost

You're entitled to your own opinions in your head. But if you choose to express them out loud, it's your responsibility to:
(1) Ground them in logic and facts
(2) Explain your reasoning to others
(3) Change them when better evidence emerges

Public service announcement for parents, managers, teachers, coaches: you can’t judge effort by results.
Inconsistent performance doesn’t mean people aren’t trying their best. It often means they’re doing their best in the face of turbulence.
In humans, variability is a feature, not a bug.

They developed a groundbreaking blood test, called PAC-MANN. This new test can find pancreatic cancer in just 45 minutes, even in its earliest stages.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”
Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.
The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.
