Teaching when to trust As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge

His lab was humming with discovery. After one year under Trump, it’s almost silent John Quackenbush built a lab that is at the forefront of human genetics research and bioinformatics. Trump administration cuts have put it in danger of collapse.

The decimation of science continues

I'm so sorry. As the leader of another center hit by NSF cuts, I truly feel your pain. We are also working to find a way to keep doing critical stuff and it is really challenging in today's times!

We Need to Talk About the Billion-Dollar Industry Holding Science Hostage Your tax dollars fund the research. You pay again to read it.

From what I see, AMS isn't in this greedy cycle. They don't operate the journals as money makers (but they do have to break even and pay their staff to maintain quality and that seems to be missed by this!) #science

I disagree there. The destruction of science and medicine is a key problem for our future. Not the top one. But in the top 10 for sure.

I don’t know who you are but I’m quoting stats. US universities were where top scientists came. Don’t believe me? Look at the stats. Doesn’t mean others are not good too.
