I don't know this guy at all, but this is a very good criticism of the "Dark Forest" hypothesis for the "Fermi Paradox". I think his reasoning is pretty solid:

Nature presents us with 80 "octaves" of light, of which humans can see exactly 1.

Bringing the other 79 octaves into view has taken two centuries of effort, but it has transformed our ability to sense our place in the cosmic order.

I'd like to read more about DNA & CRISPR. The origins, the background story, but also how CRISPR works etc.

Does anybody know which book I should read? There are multiple books on the topic & it's hard for a layman to choose from.

My background is in IT & (Interaction) Design.

Every British kid when I grew up was a scientist with innate botanical knowledge. Does someone have fleas? There's a plant for that. Does someone like butter? There's a plant for that.

@acollierastro is talking about one of my favorite shows of all time Car Talk, great end to a long weekend : )

Exercise ‘better than drugs’ to stop cancer returning after treatment, trial finds https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/jun/01/exercise-better-than-drugs-after-cancer-treatment-international-trial-finds #Medicalresearch #Cancerresearch #Bowelcancer #Fitness #Society #Science #Cancer #Health

This isn't a budget; it's an obituary.

This proposal "saves" $5.1B a year by eliminating funding for 240,100 scientists.

To put that figure in perspective, it's less than the cost ($5.4B) to just 500 US companies of last year's CrowdStrike fiasco.

Browse through the current list of 1669 cancelled awards: https://grant-watch.us/nsf-data.html and then predict next year's cancellation list of five times that size. Can you imagine that new list might contain an award funding some scientist who over the course of the year might have learned something that would eventually allow somebody somewhere to avert the next CrowdStrike? If so, then that discovery would MORE than have paid for the funding for everything all the other 240,099 scientists would have done.

I don't think a word exists to describe how foolish this proposal is. I suppose I'll just have to say it's doubleplusunwise.

Electric Fish and the First Battery

Alessandro Volta invented the voltaic pile, the earliest electric battery, in part because of his investigations into the torpedo, an electric ray fish.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus appears to reprogram neutrophils so that they transform into a type of cell called polymorphonuclear myeloid derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs), which tamps down immunity.
