This is a nice article that's relevant for Post Doc Appreciation Week. Kudos to @amormino.bsky.social, post-doc in @prcpennstate.bsky.social & the EMP Lab. Paige has been a leader in mentoring grad and undergrad students, and her help and kindness is a model for building effective team science.

1/ Pennsylvania has now reported a fourth measles-associated death in 2026. That’s the most measles deaths the U.S. has seen in a single year since 1992. The first two were infants, followed by a 40 year old woman, and now an 18 year old. The state has reported 693 confirmed cases so far this year.

Yes and no. I agree with the broad sentiment that the process is what matters. But it's a fallacy to think replacement is the only or modal path. It's a tool that students can be trained to use critically and with autonomy like any others. Let's distinguish wise use from abandonment of liberal arts.

Very strong ruling from Judge Saylor signals that plaintiffs are very likely to succeed on the merits. I suspect that the rumored proposed rule on the $100,000 OPT fee is being timed to squelch any optimism and keep the uncertainty over student visas dialed to 11. The uncertainty itself is damaging.

The U.S. is a massive funder of science. Canada does not come anywhere close. Stories about a handful of scientists get attention, but rather than "brain drain," the likely outcome if the U.S. continues its path is that there will simply be fewer scientists and less science getting done in the world
