I'm a few hours past my last class session of this academic year. Next come grading, final exams, grading, more grading, and eventually, Commencement, a.k.a. funny outfit day. Always a good time (no sarcasm).

If you supported a 10 year old American child with brain cancer, on her way to medical treatment, being deported because her parents are undocumented (but have no criminal records), then you’re a horrific person and I’m not sure how you sleep at night.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear. I will hold on to the truth, and to hope. Because there's never a good time to give in to a tyrant. And I will not. I. will. not.

I teach QM (among other things) to undergraduate chemists. This is a great push-back against the notion that an incredibly tiny baked-in measurement uncertainty means everything is fuzzy and unknowable.
