Did The Humanities Ruin The Humanities And Take All Academia Down With Them?
At what point is enforced identification with what is obviously a collapsing system called out by people on the inside of once-powerful industries?
Steelworkers once believed there was no limit to what they could grab from corporations, even autoworkers made that error. Twinkies went bankrupt to get out of union control and start over. Yet no one on the floor believe that would happen.

Have A Master In Science, Want A Post-Doc Position Directly?
Do you have a master in Science, and want to start a Post-Doc position directly? You can have it, in Padova (Italy), to work with me on the PHINDER project, an EIC-funded Pathfinder grantee.
I am offering a two-year position for research in nanophotonics-powered neuromorphic computing for particle detector development at INFN, Sezione di Padova. The call will open soon, so you should watch this space if you are interested.

A graphic from the Washington Post about motorcycle deaths is making the rounds again on Twitter, and it will set off a lot of comments by people who can't put it in context, so let's go back to the source paper.

If you ride 15 miles every day on a motorcycle for a year, you have a 1 in 860 chance of dying.
If you fly 500 miles every day on an airplane for a year, you have a 1 in 85,000 chance of dying.

UC Davis Gives Government Bans Credit For Ending The Vaping Fad
During the Obama administration, the credibility of the US Centers for Disease Control went into serious decline. Though it only became evident to most how incompetent career government bureaucrats were when COVID-19 hit - they denied it was a pandemic and said the President was being xenophobic for wanting to ban travel from China(1) - those of us inside the system saw that they were long not equipped to help with much at all.
