Hey, WTH! Wasn't the Rapture scheduled for today? Perhaps it was preempted by Trump's speech at the UN.

RIP Science

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

No comment needed.

Kind of a slog but worth reading - excellent explanation of the purpose for, and the intended audience for medical journals. www.google.com/url?q=https:...

From the article: “It’s just chaos and uncertainty,” one current NOAA scientist with more than 15 years of experience at the agency told BBC Science Focus. “The constant uncertainty makes it really difficult to plan anything.” www.sciencefocus.com/news/noaa-ch...
