Iāve been reading Jeremy Bentham on the Panopticonāthe circular prison where authorities can see what all the prisoners are doing (the prisoners cannot tell when theyāre being monitored). The point of openness is ā> surveillance, a hallmark of distrust. It is **designed** to be demotivating.

Paul Feyerabend, Against Method. Prescriptions about how science MUST be done? Simply a bad, authoritarian idea. And based on the history of science, not good for scientific progress.

Academic friends, if your NSF grants have been terminated by the administration, FABBS is hosting a webinar Friday about appealing the decisions. It's important that as many people appeal as possible to show we're not accepting this targeting of science. Link to the webinar registration is below.
