A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions.

I am organizing a YCAPS Baseball Experience in Yokosuka! All interested are welcome. This is a farm team game, so tickets are cheap and we can sit together. Important point, Yokosuka, not Yokohama! We had a great time last year at a similar event. www.ycaps.org/yokosuka-bas...

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

I have struggled with how to respond to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook's descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness. While I have thought about quitting Facebook, I find great value in the connections and friends I have here, and it doesn't seem fair that I should lose that 1/4

If, like me, you're interested in the history of urban conflagration, you'd do well to consider Edo/Tokyo.
And if you're curious about Tokyo's fire history you can do no better than to unroll 目黒行人阪火事絵巻, a scroll depicting the 1772 Meguro Gyoninzaka fire, one of the 3 great Edo era fires

三浦按針 William Adams' (aka John Blackthorne) former place of business was near Nihonbashi. There is a marker that is easy to miss and a street named for him but not marked. Seems like a bit more marketing could be expended on this.
