And #Nature had a piece on this same topic yesterday: "International PhD students to face strict limits on time in the #us #science #university https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02280-3 So sad, I cannot in good conscience recommend students to consider a PhD in USA under these circumstances.

https://carrickryan.substack.com/p/the-truth-is-behind-the-headlines '#Populism, by its nature, rests upon the notion that all of the complex problems that #society is compelled to address actually have very simple #solutions. 'To hold this world view, it necessitates a deep mistrust of #expertise, of #institutions, and of #science, and anyone else that dares explain why the "simple solution" has already been dismissed from calculations. 'These are the natural adversaries of anyone intoxicated by overconfidence as a result of the Dunning Kruger Effect; a phenomenon by which those with the least amount of knowledge on a complex topic are so deficient in knowledge that they do not understand how much they don't know. 'Within that context, the visible impatience from those who spent decades studying the minute nuances of a topic can be indiscernible from arrogance, or potentially even intentional obfuscation. '..... 'Polling data has consistently shown that One Nation's support is strongest among people without a #university degree, particularly when combined with older age and living in regional or #rural Australia. These are, in many ways, those that have benefited the least from #globalisation and those that suffered the most from growing #economic #inequality. '#Conspiracy theories offer an explanation for their loss of #status and #wealth that appeals to our natural instinct to blame misfortune on the malicious acts of others. It is cathartic to attribute grievance to the immorality of a nefarious "elite" rather than our own failure to adapt to a rapidly changing world....'

#University #Libraries I'm psyched about access to the local university library. UMaryland-College Park has greatly reduced costs for geezers who apply to fill unclaimed seats. Today I was able to find and legally download the full text of the 2009 English translation of Dialogues of Love, written by Abravanel, a.k.a. Leone Ebreo, in 1535. Here's Renaissance discourse,, admixed with a Sephardic perspective. Imagine meeting such a mind. Later, I was able to determine that the answers I sought to make UL943's new threshold specifications safer might be had. (I just withdrew a proposal, not having the biomedical engineering savvy, nor access to source data, to intelligently harmonize conflicting numbers.) I learned of a 2025 article in Health Physics, which I'll look up Monday, if the university's libraries are open. All this, and I'll sit down for my first-ever poetry class, with a highly engaged instructor. Psyched!.
