In 1954, Albert Einstein was so upset by the Oppenheimer hearing and the McCarthy era attacks on the loyalty of scientists, that he said that if he were just starting out he'd become a plumber or peddler, instead of a physicist. He soon got an invitation to join a plumbing firm! #Einstein #science

AI is vital for writing when it bridges language barriers. For non-native speakers (like indigenous people using English), AI doesn’t corrupt words; it liberates them. It lets marginalized voices express complex ideas clearly so their stories are heard rather than silenced by elitist fluency.

A pair of interacting galaxies. The larger of the two is slightly right of center. It is a one-armed spiral galaxy with a hazy, bright, white center and a ring of blue, gaseous filaments. The center of this galaxy shows JWST’s eight-pronged diffraction pattern. The single spiral arm begins at about the 7 o'clock position and spirals counterclockwise to the 12 o'clock position, forming a ring structure. Toward the bottom left and right of the ring are filaments of gas spiraling inward toward the core. At the top left of the ring is a noticeable gap, bordered by two large, blue pockets of dust and gas. The smaller galaxy is made of hazy, light blue gas and dust. Many red, green, blue, and yellow galaxies are spread throughout, with some being hazier in composition and others having more defined spiral patterns.
