I am a math major at an R1 uni and a most of the professors and postdocs I have taken classes from or worked with are foreigners who immigrated for or after their phd. A lot are from italy for some reason.
Is this because american unis are better to work at or because america can’t produce enough good math phds locally?

Theoretically, can we turn all the excess carbon in the air into plastics and store them somewhere or feed them to bacterias (plastics are just long chains of carbonhydrates). Wouldn't this make lots of sense if it's scalable?
Instead of the garbo fake green energy vs fossil fuel discussion we can maxx dinosaur juice and mass carbon capture this way.

Landau believed in "free love" rather than monogamy and encouraged his wife and his students to practise "free love". However, his wife was not enthusiastic.

🗑️ 🧵 Rehabilitating "science" (academia) is going to be nearly impossible
Anonymous at Sun, 12 May 2024 02:55:12 UTC No. 16171657
"Science" (academia) has actually lost a lot of ground in terms of credibility thanks to some of its more preposterous claims:
* Sex isn't real, you can become a woman by identifying as one
* Darwinian evolution for everything except humans; race isn't real, tabula rasa for us
* Climate change alarmism that basically amounts to secular eschatology
From a purely objective standpoint, "science" (academia) is less credible than Christianity, since there's a greater than zero likelihood that God exists more-or-less as described in the Bible and that Christ is the Messiah, whereas the likelihood that identifying as a woman makes you one is precisely zero.
So how can "science" (academia) recover from this? Is it possible for it to elevate itself to the level of peer with Christianity, which tends to have a superior understanding of the world?

Do you guy's realize that corporations are intentionally collapsing the bee and pollinator populations so everyone has to depend on them for food? (GMO seedless variants). And are actively trying to weasel farmers into using their roundup ready crops so that the roundup will leave their earth barren unless they plant Monsanto seeds?

Are they really as bad as people make out? I tapered off my long term SSRI because of all of the scare stories and negative things i've seen associated with them. The thing is my obsessive thoughts and rumination are creeping back now i'm not on them. I felt like they helped me to a degree.

Is STEM education really the same regardless of how highly ranked the college is?
A lot of people I used to hear say that if you major ina fine either or engineering that it doesn’t really matter where you go to college as the dictation is all the same. The idea was that things like the humanities are taught differently at say harvard than a random state school. But since technical subjects are so objective, if you go to a low ranked local school and major in physics, there’s nothing special you won’t be learning that someone who studied physics at Harvard learned. How true is this? Obviously it matters for employment but just about the things you learn are there things that the elite colleges will go over that the low ranked ones will not? Is there really much of a difference from what a physics or pure maths major will have to learn at a random state school compared to someone at cal tech!
