🎼 How many deanlets do we have to remove before we are finally free? The answer my friend is blowing in a zoom, the answer is blowing in a zoom.
An approach to answering this question in my latest post.

With the current state of censorship, I'm really asking "What can I say?"

In my latest post I discuss the problems with mainstream media and how scientists might be useful as trained discriminators of truth and fiction.

Even if time is money, spend a little reading my latest post on efficiency in academia.

Agreed, but... I wish this sort of coverage had been more timely. We need preventative care or early treatment, not documentation of an autopsy.

Communication in science is critical. But top down communication in universities has been lacking.

Has University micromanaging gotten out of hand?

The attacks on science are so unbelievable that I often think I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone, as I describe in my latest post.

There’s been so much resistance to accepted scientific fact, it was inevitable that a group of people would question the benefit of breathing. In this post, I talk to some of these folks, as they hold their breath.

We've been surrounded by so much evil lately that I thought I'd focus on cartoon evil in my latest Substack post.

“The once-stable compact between universities and the federal government has foundered.”
No! It was murdered. It was destroyed with a barbaric level of rage and insight. Don’t write ‘foundered’ as if there were a little tiff between parties after one treats the contract like toilet paper.

News reporting, in an effort to be fair and balanced, often distorts the facts. This has become normal and there are social media accounts dedicated to satirizing this trend.
But sometimes I read something that is so blatant I can’t stand it. I read this today….

Taking a break from all the insanity with some fiction. The First part of The Dean of Clause. It’s a story that answers the burning question “What if Dorothy was an academic microbiologist when she visits a land like Oz?”
