"A study of federally funded research projects in the United States estimated that principal investigators spend on average about 45% of their time on administrative activities related to applying for and managing projects rather than conducting active research" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

It may seem strange to folks outside of academia, but there has been a line of prominent research within it arguing that misinformation isn't a problem. This paper pushes back, noting how those arguments often rely on poor definitions & operationalizations of what misinformation is & how it works.

The Chinese restaurant we ate at, which serves exclusively halal food and has a huge Muslim customer base, was blasting the entirety of Sabrina Carpenter’s Short ‘n Sweet in honor of Christmas, and, honestly, this wild mix of influences is the main thing I love about this stupid country.

I’m convinced that the only way to get rich countries to act on climate is to pose it as a competition with China.
