I’m very happy that this book is finally out in the world. Get yourself a copy if you want to hear how one of the shortest forms relates to one of the longest, or if you’re interested in whether or how we learn from fiction!

Closing the Classics Library to make room for what will really be administrative offices (regardless of what it’s called). Montclair students have been trying to save it.

This is UNACCEPTABLE. It cannot be allowed. Every Member of Congress and Senator, and every elected official with a brain and a heart should say so and put their shoulder to the wheel. This study is how we know almost any true thing about women's health.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Great to see Francisco Robles’s Coalition Literature in my mailbox. This book puts together some broken shards of a US literary history fired in the kilns of the late thirties and helps me see how to embrace a “collective” dimension of our aesthetic politics.

A reminder to my academic colleagues that the incoming freshman class was born in 2006 which means that they -have not seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion -don’t know how C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate -All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain

I'll make a 🧵 of my notes on this book here. To get us started: "There's no such thing as the scientific method, and there never was. And yet, 'the scientific method' is alive and well. […] Why? Because 'the scientific method' is a myth—and myths are powerful things." 🧪#metasci #philsci #STS
