Why I’m Resigning from the NSF and Library of Congress I cannot participate in systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I wrote about my decision in TIME.

Never Heard of Yogyakarta? It Might Be the Center of the Universe. (Gift Article) The Indonesian city is home to some of the greatest Hindu and Buddhist temples, a thriving food scene and an area known as the Cosmological Axis, a cradle of Javanese culture.

Too late to offer a paper but soon registration for HoMSEA in Yogyakarta will open. An interesting article in the NYT on Yogya in the past day or so. While it's not as magical as in 1978, when I first visited, still worth experiencing. Not to forget Solo, only a few hours away, and much quieter....
