I’m excited to announce the third episode of our new series, What’s New in Science, co-hosted by Sabine Hossenfelder. Once again, Sabine and I each brought a few recent science stories to the table, and we took turns introducing them before diving into thoughtful discussions. It’s a format that continues to spark engaging exchanges, and based on the feedback we’ve received, it’s resonating well with listeners. This time, we covered a wide range of intriguing topics.

A Member of the National Academy of Sciences, and former MacArthur Award winner, he is one of the most distinguished mathematicians in the country. He has also been an outspoken critic of the attacks on free speech and open inquiry at US universities, and is a contributor to the new book I have edited, to appear in July of this year, The War on Science.

It was David Bowie who said that it doesn’t matter who does something first, it’s whoever does it second that history remembers. Bowie was specifically answering the charge that he had lifted his act from then-obscure bands like the Velvets and the Stooges. But he wasn’t wrong about the general principle. Indeed, we were provided with an example of Bowie’s rule of thumb just a few months ago, when Rolling Stone reviewed the omnibus sized box-set of Bob Dylan’s 1974 US tour.

(getty images: Credit dotted hippo)The discovery of a plethora of new moons around Saturn caused me to think about whether it is time to redefine what we mean by a moon, as we did for the definition of ‘planet’ after it was discovered that Pluto wasn’t alone in the Kuiper belt. I outlined my perspective in a new article released today in Quillette. Here is how it begins. You can read the full article at the link provided below.

When my daughter was in grade four, she was instructed to write about a planet of her choice. She chose Pluto. Alas, about fifteen years later, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decided Pluto was no longer a full-fledged planet—partly because it’s just one of a number of similarly sized objects in an area of our solar system called the Kuiper Belt.

Hmm. @JDVance visits the pope and he dies the next day. Coincidence?
I wonder if @JDVance ‘s former prof at yale law school were squirming when the heard he said the nation didn’t have time for due process when dealing with immigrants.
So you are saying that we can take people we may not like and without due process or respect for the courts, dump them anywhere?
