"as he told me, data doesn't lie" is a convenient assertion made by people full of shit

The American Mathematical Society has also started a page to coordinate support for professional mathematics, so far focusing on executive orders impacting the National Science Foundation: www.ams.org/government/g...

My friend @mathyadriana.bsky.social lost her job last week, and I want you to know the story: buttondown.com/yarntheory/a...

This is a submission that is particularly close to my heart, having spent so much time with #entanglementtheory early in my career. scirate.com/arxiv/2502.1... If one accepts that all entanglement manipulation actually has to be #efficient, it is all different.

I'm hiring a postdoc in quantum condensed matter theory! This will be a 3 year position, with a focus on developing and using novel numerical techniques to investigate open quantum systems. For further info and to apply, see the following: elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

I keep seeing DOGE’s actions called “auditing.” It’s not fucking audits. Audits are not performed by sailing into an organization you know nothing about, firing huge swathes of people, and THEN figuring out what they were doing

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

Anyone have advice for helping students build intuition behind classical thermodynamics? Specifically thermodynamic potentials, conjugate vars and Legendre transformations, Maxwell relations, etc. cc ⚛️ #iTeachPhysics

These must be those "high-IQ-types" sent out by Musk I have read about

The champions of Free Speech are now forcing scientists to retract submitted publications until they can be checked for the appearance of “forbidden terms.”

The January 6th attack on American institutions succeeded. It took four years, but they won.

Also: "Increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM" was one of the first Trump administration's 3 main objectives according to the 2018 White House's 5-year strategic plan. 🌠 www.energy.gov/sites/prod/f...

I am wondering when people in the US will start to have demonstrations against the actions of their government

Has there ever been a time when people have not had the courage to comment on every topic independent of their shallow understanding of it or has social media just opened the gates for us to see?
