This story is fascinating. There are so many layers of influence, but really, VOA has been turned into something less than it was or can be. I know people who worked for VOA. They are some of the best science writers I've ever known.

Calling on my fellow white scicomm'ers to do some work here. How many times have you offered career advice to a friend of a friend who's interested in #SciComm? How many of those FoaF's have been privileged in some way?

Consider this my FoaF mentor request: tinyurl.com/vs-mentors

Seriously though... you'd be in a pickle without words containing "ai".

Uhm... what?

This is such a great story & study.

When we punish asking questions, we become dictators. Compassion & transparency are essential to creating the trust necessary to move society forward.

Is the computer plugged in? Did they try unplugging it & plugging it back in?

Just casually reminding everyone that my book comes out in a few weeks, it REALLY helps if you preorder, and if you want a signed copy, you can get one shipped to you from Loyalty Books in DC 🖖🏽

This is not great news. But it is also the reality we need to see in order to really make things better. We need to rebuild trust.

The language involved is so specific. It's ridiculous that we have media reporting this news without opsec & legal input on what is really being negotiated.

The Silent Standpoint: How Professors Explain Gender Disparities in Academia Based on 77 qualitative interviews with professors in higher education, this article explores the interviewees' opinions on how gender disparities in academia should be explained. We show that male p...

"As long as male academics believe that women (in general) are less qualified for professorships than men, every step toward increasing the proportion of female professors will be seen as a threat to meritocracy." But we don't need DEI, do we? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Oh wow. That is an amazing connection.

That is never leaving my brain

I guess the big question is whether having a planet close in suggests that there should be others (potentially in the habitable zone) further out. If all the M-types have rocky planets super close, they will probably be too hot for what we call life.

Thank you for this thoughtful answer!

This is wild news. How does it or does it impact the Drake equation?

How the heck does this even happen?

The AI future we deserve.

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about.

Their stories should be known:
