I was trying to say pretty much the same thing as you in this thread, but unfortunately @Samuel_Gregson blocked me. I thought I was on his side.

The University of California was for so long a transformative force for social mobility because it had the highest standards and inspired people from all walks of California to aspire to them. Dumping the SAT, whatever you think of the motivations for doing so, was a retreat from this role, and has had cascading disastrous effects on secondary education in the state. Reinstating it will not solve all of these problems, but it is an absolutely essential first step.

The barriers that made biological weapons rare: deep expertise, advanced equipment, years of specialized training Those barriers are dissolving. Rapidly AI keeps getting better at biological design. Biological engineering keeps getting easier. The trends are converging

An experimental cancer vaccine kept melanoma from coming back. It’s the first successful late-stage mRNA study validating decades of custom-treatment research on.wsj.com/4qy7Ule

Turns out we may already have an anti-aging vaccine. Created originally to prevent shingles, it appears to influence aging and cognitive decline - far beyond anything it was designed to do. The beauty of science. realclearscience.com/blog/20…

Melanoma doctors tell us the FDA’s rejection of RP1 makes no sense and will cost thousands of lives. on.wsj.com/4mGVKVf

Today I was told that *two* M1s at my university are anti-vaxxers. It truly upsets me and breaks my heart that they were granted admission to the only public medical school in our state. I see this as a complete disservice to public health in Arkansas.

In Opinion Rebecca Archer’s daughter died of measles that she contracted before she was old enough to be vaccinated. “Parents must realize that refusing vaccinations doesn’t just put your own child at risk. It puts other children at risk,” Archer writes. nyti.ms/3QizMM9

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is in final preparations for an early September launch, eight months AHEAD of schedule and UNDER budget. This milestone is the result of more than a decade of dedication and millions of hours of work by NASA and our industry partners. Their commitment is what’s making this moment possible and helping drive Gold Standard Science. Roman will help answer some of the biggest questions in science, investigating dark matter, dark energy, and the structure of the universe. Its images will be so large and detailed, there isn’t a screen in existence big enough to display them. This is just the beginning.

Opioids work very well for pain; despite having excellent (but mildly costly) prescribing & deprescribing protocols that work, every system will avoid using them while their patients cry in pain. Every second someone is needlessly suffering due to irrational fear of a compound.

Victory! USA!

This is huge. Dominique Reynié: "We found that Gazprom funded environmental NGOs that provided ministers to various governments, such as Belgium, which then advocated abandoning nuclear power". Gazprom is a Russian-owned gas corporation. Less nuclear = more gas.

As a Russian, I strongly condemn the cultural appropriation currently taking place in the United States.

The head of the DSA International Committee is openly cheering for the brutal theocratic regime in Iran to crush pro-democracy protesters

Heavily armed, masked men stopping people on the street and asking if they are citizens … these ICE f**ks are turning this country into a banana republic

A lot of the blame rests on not requiring ALL college graduates, irrespective of major, to be able to do at least basic single-variable calculus.
