At this point, I don’t trust anything I read about the Israel-Iran War. I have lost sleep trying to follow all the bombings, but I am still not sure just what has been destroyed, how many people have died. Even the footage is too poor by 2025 standards.

This may be an “oh my god!” moment for now, but most historians and sociologists of science know that it will start looking like he said/she said to the reading public in a couple of years or maybe less. Time changes so much.

It looks like we’ll have to learn to live without Internet before we learn to live with AI.

'UK universities are an incredibly cheap place to fund research. The exact cost recovery varies but overall universities only secure about 60% of the cost of research (excluding unfunded scholarship) from grants. The shortfall is paid by fees from teaching international students' 1/2

This kind of plausible deniability gaslighting combo is very common in the United States. It’s not just the Republican Party and not just the politicians. It is almost like a widespread metastasis originating from a cancerous corporate culture.

I don’t mean to gainsay an eminent economist and a fellow countryman, but US did not become powerful because of its science. It deliberately developed its scientific infrastructure because and after it became rich and powerful. JB Conant said it best in 1948. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Maybe this is because MA is doing alright with the way things are and OK is struggling. I think we need to think more seriously about cause and effect in this election.

Today, Penn Faculty for Justice in Palestine, Huda Fakhreddine and Eve Troutt Powell have filed a motion to stop Penn from handing in documents to the Committee on Education and the Workforce. This is the new McCarthyism. The witchhunt has to stop.

Next in our joint publication, the new Isis considers what a labor history of science can & should be. @historyofscience.bsky.social, @sethrockman.bsky.social, & I co-wrote the introduction but the main authors are the real stars. So proud of this. #histsci www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/isis/cur...
