God, this is scary. They are killing science in universities and are pretty open about that. What’s unclear is whether they honestly think this is good for science, or consider it to be acceptable collateral damage of hurting universities, or don’t care as long as it funnels money to corporations.
Tyler Cowen interviews OSTP Director Michael Kratsios. A few points of the conversation worth highlighting:

LLMs are going to fundamentally change what scholarship is. Pumping out true propositions used to be a viable career. Now much of that can be offloaded, leaving scholars the tasks of understanding, synthesizing, and deciding what is valuable. Goes for math, philosophy, parts of physics.

Four billion years ago, Earth was a sterile rock. Today it is teeming with life, from simple microbes to extraordinarily complex societies that span the globe. How does that happen? I'm writing a book about the answer: Life Unbounded, from Quanta Books. www.quantabooks.org/books/life-u...
🚨New book announcement! 🚨Evolutionary biologist William C. Ratcliff’s (@wcratcliff.bsky.social) LIFE UNBOUNDED (forthcoming 2029) delivers a sweeping narrative of the emergence of complex life, and how a sterile planet transformed into the rich mosaic of beings on Earth today.

The fact that stuff like this is not treated like a five-alarm fire is another signal of how close we are to a possible end to our republic. No institution willing and able to curtail a lawless administration.
Latest example of "You Can Just Do Stuff" governing taken to the extreme. The judge can't physically enforce his or her own ruling, the White House controls law enforcement and Congress won't impeach.

If you live in Texas they have cancelled 1.2 million voters’ registrations. Please check your registration. If you are told you aren’t registered at the voting site, ask for a provisional ballot. They can’t steal our right to vote. #BlueWave #ProudBlue#Vouces4Victory #OneV1 vote.gov

Astro DX in Biome is about to get better, thanks to @erika.florist and @astro.build
I sent a small PR fixing a few bugs in @biomejs.dev's Astro support. This is part of a larger effort this quarter to improve the formatting story of Astro, with more to come 😄

This week's NOVA is Decoding the Universe: Quantum. I am one of the talking heads! I think physicists are going to struggle talking about quantum mechanics as long as we think of the quantum state - not our observational outcomes - as representing what is real. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t06a...

The Fauci show trial is an amazing illustration of the fundamental immaturity and insecurity of the modern right. What really outrages them is that he dared to suggest that people make sacrifices for the common good. So much of X/techbro/manosphere thought is just insisting that should never happen.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

There will be no reason for the next president to keep around the previous president's personal military squad.
Not that we didn't know this already but having ICE - whose jurisdiction has absolutely NOTHING to do with elections - investigate voter fraud gives away the game. ICE is no longer a legal entity bound by laws and norms, it's Trump's personal force, focusing on whatever he wants.

Well the President just paid millions after being found guilty of sexual assault, and has made billions off of blatant corruption, and has overseen numerous murders, and is openly working to overturn the results of free elections. The standards for political scandals have gone up!
There was an era when this would have been one of the biggest scandals in modern political history. That era was five years ago

Ben Franklin was pretty good at distinguishing science from quackery even at a time when the line wasn’t so clear. (It’s much easier today, and so many people are still bad at it.)
Just had the minor thrill, in the process of researching the 1784 Mesmer Commission, of coming upon some interesting Franklin correspondence that (as far as I can tell/recall, will need to double check) is not mentioned in the major histories of the subject and seems of at least some interest.

Scientists, especially younger ones, are going to have to come to terms with the idea that “doing science” is no longer enough. We all have to fight for science: what it means, what are its values, and why it matters.
Scientific research in the United States might not collapse with a bang, or with a whimper, but with a rule change. And it's not just Science. This rule change hits DOE, DOT, VA, HUD. ALL federal grants are at risk. www.theverge.com/science/9576...
