Yes! But one important thing to keep in mind is that, for scientists outside academia (and some within it), defunding = unemployment. It isn’t fair to expect scientists to forge ahead for the greater good when they can’t feed their families.

For presentations, Garr Reynolds uses the analogy of a bento box. If you eat one, you’re left (pleasantly) about 80% full…rather than eating so much that you need to unbutton your pants! 😁

I agree, I really love Kitchen Garden Revival! Beautiful and practical. Groundbreaking Food Gardens and Starter Vegetable Gardens also offer great-looking options!

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

I’m really discouraged that, right now, public outcry and activism don’t seem to be making much of a difference. Many Democrats (including my own Congressperson) seem to not be doing much beyond hand-wringing, and Tillis/Budd are complicit in this disaster. šŸ’”

History and politics aren’t my area, but I’ve been wondering whether there are any anticipated parallels with what happened in the Middle East, where urban areas moved from being progressive in the 1970’s to being as conservative/restrictive as they are today?

I’m so frustrated that my Democratic congresswoman only seems to be posting platitudes on social media. What are concrete actions we can realistically demand from our Democratic legislators?

From personal experience, calling Tillis and Budd will do absolutely nothing, unfortunately.
