This is India’s youngest and sadly the poorest state. Its insane that all the samples tested positive!? Imagine the risks and the level of exposure. Above all, the sheer ignorance of authorities

While science is defined by objectivity and evidence, its practice is still inevitably shaped by human subjectivity and social factors, which explains why pseudoscience can flourish and skepticism may devolve into uncritical belief or misinformation instead of authentic scientific thinking.

J.B.S Haldane, one of my favourite scientists settled in my country (India). And it is with great regret that i say that a major chunk of STEM graduates of India will not he aware of his works beyond a few line.Here’s a part of his lecture delivered on India’s public radio:

And here we are. Another damn’d thick, square book. A real wrist-sprainer. UK edition (pictured) has endpapers showing Crick and Brenner’s blackboard and colour plates. Both U.K. and US editions have sections heralded by a double page photo as here. Loads of illustrations. Out in November!

India will one day (i hope soon, wishful, i know) have hirings like these. History and philosophy of science are foundational learnings that are entirely absent from mainstrem STEM education in India. What injustice to the beauty of sciences. We have science graduates who dont know Vienna ⭕️existed
We need an associate lecturer in history of modern science @stsucl.bsky.social www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...
UCL – University College London
UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

Scientists, Philosophers and Thinkers have historically been profound in anchoring the social realities of our times. Scientists worked against Nazis and philosophers seeded the ideas of rationality, critical thought and dialectics. At present, all of this seems absent. It is concerning (1/n)

The entire anti science narrative which sits in the heart of conservative politics worldwide is a scary phenomenon. Acetaminophen is one of the safest drugs and very effective! Also the throwing of word “autism” in every drug and vaccine debate by science deniers is laughable but again! FDA? Why? 🫥
The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.
They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:
No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism
AND
Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”
