When I hear “snowflake” thrown around as an insult, I can’t help but wonder: since when did being soft-hearted become a flaw? Is it truly shameful to be gentle? To be kind? To want a better, fairer world for others? If being a “snowflake” means caring deeply, then perhaps we need more of them.

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

A nation exhausted: The neuroscience of why Americans are tuning out politics

Political fear, media polarization, and identity-driven politics have fueled exhaustion and learned helplessness in Americans, leading many to disengage from political news.
