I think with better integrative astronomy, we would be able to also understand things like how some sites on Earth are important to the people that live there, instead of making it all about building telescopes and ignoring everything not Western science.

Agreed. Integrative astronomy would be e.g. to complement Western scientific study of proper motion with traditional knowledge of constellations and their importance to human beliefs and development.

It recognizes that celestial objects are more than their physical phenomena, they influence people!

For me, I say it so it rhymes with "gone"

I saw a study somewhere that showed board rooms and other places of decision making often had CO2 level rising well above 1000 after a short time. Decisions might be getting worse the longer the meeting goes!

"reflectix" is apparently a good thing to line windows with as well, and maybe more effective/reusable? we got a roll to try with the next heat event

Contrary to a lot of opinion on this, I think generative AI actually does have some useful applications! Sometimes you do just need a crane! But these people are deluding themselves into thinking they've exercised and the mismatch between what they know and what they think they know is dangerous

Luckily with just a day of this, I can try to avoid the edge cases :)

I did serve my kid some ice cream for dinner though!

A bout of gastroenteritis passing through the kids (from school of course). Hoping the adults will be spared the worst of it!

Time for our scientific society leadership to take the case to the people by getting on national news and putting op eds in national publications, rather than just sending letters to members of congress who feel no pressure by that whatsoever

Love to support the team but don't love advertising kids names and where they play (or go to school if it's a school team).

I love that this has been made into a "modern" Heritage Minute!!
