“Don’t try to tell me this wasn’t genocide,” added Mr. Sherman, who said in an interview that he had once run away from the school and walked nearly 50 miles trying get home. “They went after our language, our culture, our family ties, our land. They succeeded on almost every level.”

"Many children faced beatings, malnutrition, hard labor and other forms of neglect and abuse. Some never returned to their families. Hundreds are known to have died, a toll expected to grow as research continues."

@gpollara @academicchatter Another administrative burden on PIs. Many are leaving academia bc of such burdens that reduce their time dedicated to doing actual science.

Wow, this seems a very draconian and impractical stance for #NIH to take for its grants involving foreign partners! 👇
Article below haa a full takedown. #academicchatter #funding @academicchatter
"Beginning October 1, 2023, foreign subaward recipients will be required to provide the U.S. prime grantee “copies of all lab notebooks, all data and all documentation that support the research outcomes…no less than every six months, or more frequently based on risks”"

I just learned that libraries cannot purchase #Audible exclusives and I feel absolutely enraged. Then I found Libro.fm thanks to @pluralistic and I learned their #books are #DRM free, yours forever and a local bookstore of your choice receives part of your subscription or purchase. I tried their app and it is nicer, prettier and more user friendly than Audible, so I subscribed and picked #TheInternetCon to help seize the means of Computation ✊
Danes legally robbing migrants of all their belongings (other than wedding rings):

It's going to take more than early dark energy to resolve the #Hubble tension.
Our best understanding of the #universe is rooted in a cosmological model known as #LCDM — the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model.
Although the LCDM model matches our observations incredibly well, it isn't perfect. And the more data we gather on the early universe, the less perfect it seems to be.

The real reason the #UK prime minister is not going to the UN summit: António Guterres would shame him for his support of #FossilFuels.
"Sunak would risk falling foul of the UN secretary-general’s strict stipulations if he were to attempt to participate in the #climate segment. The potential embarrassment he faced throws a new light on his decision not to attend the UN general assembly."

There must be a reason why the UK 'Health Security' Agency removed public health from its name.
No recognition that we are still in a pandemic with an airborne virus, risks of long covid and & that UK kids are not being offered the vax, #CleanAir or #ventilation.
But yes, keep recommending hand washing

"(...) Xerox PARC, the storied Palo Alto research lab credited with pioneering many aspects of contemporary computing. Its most famous creation is the Alto, a personal computer system introduced in 1973 that featured a mouse and a graphical user interface with icons, windows, and folders. Xerox famously never managed to monetize it, but the Alto’s influence was immense; within a decade Apple was selling machines that looked a lot like it."
