It’s Bulletproof, Fire-Resistant and Stronger Than Steel. It’s Superwood. Waste wood scraps, changed at the molecular level, could become heavy-duty building materials—and even replace plastic, aluminum and carbon fiber in our vehicles and gadgets (gift link) www.wsj.com/tech/inventw...

There's such a flood of scientific results that it is hard for scientists - and the institutions that fund them - to tell which are most important. Perhaps an indicator that tells how novel a result is would help. @mims.bsky.social @danielkraft.bsky.social medium.com/@kimbellard/...

The U.S. is cutting federal science funding indiscriminately, while the UK is looking to base funding decisions by identifying which research is the most novel. I know which approach I'd prefer. 😏 @meganranney.bsky.social @davidmcutler.bsky.social @nature.com medium.com/@kimbellard/...

There are so many scientific papers that it can be hard to spot the truly novel ones that are most likely to be impactful in the long term. If only there was a "novelty indicator" that could help: this the Metascience Novelty Indicator Challenge. kimbellard.medium.com/how-novel-no...

Heller, Citizens United, and Dobbs showed how the right successfully played the long game to advance their issues. My question is: what's the long game being played on the issues the rest of us care about? I have some thoughts about what those issues should be. medium.com/@kimbellard/...
