Space weather, #artificalintelligence and Jennifer Lopez's dog. Science "journalism"? Is there even such a thing? I indulge my jaundiced eye in a short take on Minding the Campus. @NASorg @mitfreespeech @CUFreeSpeech @MindingCampus mindingthecampus.org/2025/09/03/sho…

I write @MindingCampus on the recent kerfuffle over NIH limiting #AI tools to write grant proposals, and limiting PIs to just six😢proposals per year. These reforms miss the problem and will likely be ineffective. @NASorg @mitfreespeech @CUFreeSpeech mindingthecampus.org/2025/07/30/nih…
I recently appeared with Subboor Ahmad to discuss Richard Dawkins' new book Genetic Book of the Dead, which I reviewed in the Summer 2025 Academic Questions. @DiscoveryCSC #evolution2 youtube.com/live/W_oF18bC8…
In latest Academic Questions: Are sciences in the USSR and US too similar for comfort? I compare Simon Ings' Stalin & the Scientists, and Audra Wolfe's Freedom's Laboratory. Also, a new look at the Lysenko affair. @NASorg @MindingCampus @mitfreespeech nas.org/academic-quest…

Grief, extinction and photosynthetic slugs (ep 9 of TWIS) is live at @NASorg Science has had anger, denial, and is now bargaining. Did a flip in Earth's mag field drive Neanderthals extinct? And yeah photosynthetic slugs? @MindingCampus @CUFreeSpeech youtu.be/oIKKy35jE_A
The Scopes monkey trial centennial is coming up soon. Why was anti-evolutionism such a powerful movement in the 1920s South? Hint: it wasn't anti-science fundamentalism. @MindingCampus @NASorg #scopes @ACLU mindingthecampus.org/2025/06/27/the…

In all the wailing about the Trump war on science and academic freedom, there's a problem of public perception at the heart. From TWIS episode 7. @NASorg @aaas @CUFreeSpeech @mitfreespeech #standupforscience youtube.com/clip/UgkxrHRdl…
