Time to use Amazon like they used to use brick-and-mortar book stores!

Find a cool product on Amazon?

That company exists OFF Amazon, too.

1. Google company name
2. Order from their site
2a. Can usually find a 10% code!
3. Can still get product in 2 - 8 days.
4. Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon.
5. You avoid giving money to Bezos.

The Fulbright Foreign Student Program invites graduate students from abroad to come study in the US and guarantees funding for them to do so paid in a monthly stipend. Yesterday, some FFSP scholars received notification that they're only getting a week of their stipend.

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

I'm a scientist because 52 years ago the National Science Foundation supported me, as a high school student, to do real research at a university summer science program. The destruction of US science by Trump and the Republicans today will weaken the country for decades.

The most fun we have in digital archaeology class is during our collaborations with local orgs. We get to go outside and students get hands-on practice! This week we went to Bartram's Garden where we used geophysics to search for late 18th c. garden paths that could aid in their landscaping plans.
