Government-censored science ruined the USSR. Is the USA next? Back in 1928, the Darwin-and-Mendel rejecting scientist, Trofim Lysenko, was put in charge of Soviet agriculture. This is why you don't want a government that embraces anti-science policies! bigthink.com/starts-with-... #science

This is a pretty good piece about the latest discussion on the risks of alcohol use. But one thing that this entire discussion fails to factor is the positive utility that many gain from drinking. I'd much rather enjoy 30 more years drinking wine every day than 32 miserable years with no wine.

Time, before the holidays descend, for a little round-up of some of the articles I published this year. To start, this look in @quantamagazine.bsky.social at the use of neutral Rydberg atoms as quantum bits for quantum information technology. www.quantamagazine.org/the-best-qub...
