Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Re-reading this article by Anton Hur on Han Kang's Nobel prize. During my year in Korea, I heard so many times about the angst surrounding Korea not winning a Nobel prize....until last year it finally happened. Beautiful piece, such a privilege to know Anton

I had two NSF grants terminated last week, for a total of just under $1M. The largest one had just started and its goal was to provide users with more context and information on the content that they see on social media.

I talked to NIH officials, current and former, about what's been happening inside the agency since the Trump administration shut down their grantmaking pipeline in January. Their stories showed just how willing our new leaders are to break the law: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Inside the Collapse at NIH

Administration officials pressured NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

A very interesting archival project called “Indian mathematicians at work” does these long-form interviews with mathematicians not only about their mathematics but also about their lives. Here are two-part videos of an interview of my dad Prof Balasubramanian, an analytical number theorist.

I keep thinking about how many institutional failures symptomatic of our society led to this doctor being able to cause such harm. This @propublica.org piece is long, wild, sad, terrifying, and definitely worth reading! #MedicalEthics #MedEthics
