Casey Means is a grifter who dropped out of ENT residency to start a company selling glucose monitors to non-diabetics & a “health app.”

She doesn’t know basic science concepts, yet claims she’s a metabolism expert.

Incomplete ENT residency ≠ expert.

Of course she’s put up for Surgeon General.

We have an opportunity to save more lives around the world than ever before—and I want to do even more to help. That's why I'm giving away virtually all of my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years.

"Although Panchanathan...didn’t give a reason for his sudden departure, orders from the White House to accept a 55% cut to the agency’s $9 billion budget next year and fire half its 1700-person staff may have been the final straws in a series of directives Panchanathan felt he could no longer obey."

0. Vought, Vance, Rufo, and those attacking academia see scientists as bureaucrats—in the most pejorative sense of the term—who they can "put into trauma" and drive to quit.

They don't understand that science is not just a job. It's a vocation, literally, in the original sense of *a calling*.

We've released our lecture notes for the course Probabilistic AI at ETH Zurich, covering uncertainty in ML and its importance for sequential decision making. Thanks a lot to @jonhue.bsky.social for his amazing effort and to everyone who contributed! We hope this resource is useful to you!
I'm very excited to share notes on Probabilistic AI that I have been writing with @arkrause.bsky.social 🥳

arxiv.org/pdf/2502.05244

These notes aim to give a graduate-level introduction to probabilistic ML + sequential decision-making.
I'm super glad to be able to share them with all of you now!

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
