Few books have had such an influence on my thinking as Gould’s book “Wonderful life: the Burgess Shale and the nature of history”.
My father gave it to me in 1994 when I was 15, after visiting the Burgess Shale in Yoho NP.

Het verbaast me hoe een podcast over wetenschapsnieuws al maanden oorverdovend stil blijft over de immense teloorgang en actieve afbraak van wetenschap in de VS. Als dat geen wetenschapsnieuws is, wat wel? @nerdland.be @lievenscheire.bsky.social

There hardly is a trade deficit between the US and the EU. The deficit in the trade of goods is nearly offset by a surplus in the trade of services.
