How do the ultra-wealthy restock during the programmed recession? How do they acquire liquidity in the context of bailouts? The problem is that not everyone sees it, and we need to be well informedwhen the bailouts begin.
Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

“Every industry has certain problems universally acknowledged as broken: In academia, it’s publishing. Academic publishing is dominated by for-profit giants like Elsevier and Springer. Calling their practice a form of thuggery isn’t so much an insult as an economic observation.”
Modern science wouldn’t exist without the online research repository known as arXiv. Three decades in, its creator still can’t let it go.

French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated.
Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Le ministre de la recherche a dit sa « préoccupation », mercredi, après cette décision des autorités américaines. Le chercheur du CNRS aurait subi un contrôle aléatoire à son arrivée, avant que son or...

@johncarlosbaez arguments are specially relevant this week. One cannot help but wonder if the whole US Tech and @bluesky will eventually share a scorched-earth mindset to progress. Any tips on how to use @Mastodon efficiently, starting with how to follow across servers?

Sadly, Prof. Rudi Podgornik unexpectedly passed away ias.tau.ac.il/rudolph_podg... I still have his comments about possible effects of charge regulation on my last works and the collaboration he proposed over my desk. A big loss for our SoftMatter theory scientific community.

Thank you MK, for being an inspiring mentor and supporting my applications. I would've loved to have more opportunities to discuss—alas, time goes by unjustly fast. My condolences, dear Marci and family.
The Nobel Prize-winning chemist, Martin Karplus, has passed away. A pioneer in the theory and computation of the dynamics of macromolecules. 🧪 #ChemSky

It's been a real pleasure to work with Ping, Alex and Victoria over the past year on the On-Surface Synthesis Collection for Communications Chemistry. If you haven't browsed the Collection yet, it's worth a look - absolutely beautiful work from leaders in the field.
