National Research Act at 50: An Ethics Landmark in Need of an Update
The National Research Act was a landmark in research ethics oversight. But it needs to be updated for modern times, including research with biospecimens, AI, and xenotransplantation.

Survey of 380 climate scientists finds 80% predict at least 2.5C rise in global temperature causing heatwaves, wildfires, floods, storms, and major societal disruption. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🧪
Graph showing "Almost 80% of the respondents, all from the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), foresee at least 2.5C of global heating, while almost half anticipate at least 3C (5.4F). Only 6% thought the internationally agreed 1.5C (2.7F) limit would be met."

It’s long past time for California to abolish the death penalty
The death penalty is a stain on our values as Californians, and we must finally stop perpetuating cycles of punishment and violence and instead invest in healing and rehabilitation.

Free Will Debate: Daniel Dennett vs. Gregg Caruso
The concept of free will is profoundly important to our self-understanding, our interpersonal relationships, and our moral and legal practices. If it turns out that no one is ever free and morally responsible, what would that mean for society, morality, meaning, and the law? Just Deserts introduces the concepts central to the debate about free will and moral responsibility by way of an entertaining, rigorous, and sometimes heated philosophical dialogue between two leading thinkers.
