AbstractThe production of painted, etched or engraved designs on cave walls or other surfaces is recognized as a major cognitive step in human evolution. Such intentional designs, which are widely interpreted as signifying, recording, and transmitting information in a durable manner were once considered exclusive to Late Pleistocene Homo sapiens.

Science, both teaching and doing, is under attack. The recent US presidential election of a person and platform with anti-science bias exemplifies this. The study of climate processes and patterns and the role of human activities in these phenomena are at the heart of multiple global crises, and yet the scientific results, and the scientists presenting them, are attacked constantly.

La reciente elección de Donald Trump, con un historial anticientífico demostrado desde su primera presidencia (2016-2020) y una plataforma anticientífica explícita para esta, es una de las amenazas más sustantivas para la investigación científica, y para los científicos, en el siglo XXI.

Any scientist knows that to be a good scientist, they must conduct thoughtful research; generate high-quality, verifiable results and analyses; and get them into circulation in the scientific community. However, what often goes underappreciated is that this good science will likely remain ignored by most of the world if one doesn’t find a way to get it out beyond the scientific community. Unfortunately, when it comes to making our science accessible, we scientists all too often fall short.

Hace poco más de 40 años, Frans de Waal presentó al mundo a Big Mama, Yeroen, Luit, Nikkie y los demás miembros de un grupo de chimpancés en el zoológico de Arnhem en los Países Bajos.

Last June, more than 300 people showed up for church services in Germany. What made this gathering so special, and drew so many attendees, was that the service was run entirely by artificial intelligence. As a rabbi, I think, “Well, AI’s not going to come for my job” – and then I read in the paper that 300 people came to see this AI, who appeared on a big screen in front of all the parishioners in St. Paul’s Church.
