You guys.
This is a picture of my first dog. He was a black lab called King.
He joined our family when I was 3.
I loved him with all my heart.
For various (very legitimate) reasons, my parents gave him away when I was 6 or 7.
I remember watching him ride off in the back of an old pickup surrounded by other children.
King lived a long happy life with those children, but I never stopped missing him.

It’s hard to put this moment into words—especially as scientists.
Watching vital agencies dismantled, brilliant colleagues dismissed, and critical data erased is not just heartbreaking—it’s a loss that reverberates far beyond the scientific community.
But science is resilient. We are resilient.
And we will carry our knowledge, passion, and purpose forward—prepared to rebuild stronger together.

Thanks (and sorry I couldn’t make it - graduation).
One tempering point is that a lot of these aspirational applications you talk about are public goods and/or need network effects. That makes them way harder, for adoption, than just writing code and publishing it, or even than launching a startup. (Startups address public goods and network effects in one main way, by dumping VC billions into becoming a monopoly in the space, and we know how that goes.) Another thing you can say for these parts of the blockchain community is that they recognize the unique value and challenge of public goods. But though they are actively working to address them, it’s tough. For one thing, they’re still subject to individual incentives, so public good can become “public good owned by a monopoly that I have a piece of”.
@bwag 1) they are currently getting major policy support, and there are no network effects like the US government
2) I think precisely the problem is that they assume the only way to build is with VC-style startups, when key internet infrastructure (ARPANET, GPS, Wikipedia, Linux) developed in other ways
Happy birthday to Dr. Cecilia Payne! Her 1925 PhD thesis has been described as “the most brilliant ever written in astronomy.”
At a time when few women entered academia, Payne discovered what the universe is made of. Her work began a revolution in astrophysics & more should know her name. #science #history
Thank you for sharing this! I took a look at her Wikipedia entry and it looks like Russell stole all the credit for her work when developing the H-R diagram?? All too common in the history of science. Thank you for illuminating this for me! 🙂
ETA: Looks as though Russell did cite her research quite extensively, but isn't remembered for her contributions as much as she should be
