No one can be truly free in a society considered by many to be unjust. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Our job — the responsibility of all who seek a just society and a decent world — is to move as far as possible away from hateful violence, toward social justice.

Generative AI Can Harm Learning

Interesting study: Students using GPT-4 for math homework got way better scores, but performed worse than kids who never used it when the AI was taken away.

The new Oakley Meta smart glasses are… super ugly, right?

I was looking for sunglasses for running and thought these might be a good option—but wow. Hard to get past the design.

Anyone else think they look ridiculous?

What happens when NIH is under threat?
📉 Fewer clinical trials.
💔 No new treatments for cancer, rare diseases.

And long-term? We surrender our global leadership in biomedical research.

NIHers risked everything to speak out, b/c the stakes are life and death.

Stand with them here⬇️

NPR just sued Trump over his unconstitutional executive order gutting federal funding for public media.

Kudos to them for standing up for the First Amendment. It reminds me of when Mr. Rogers stood up to Nixon's attempts to gut public broadcasting 56 years ago.
