It's been a good year for @socannex. Today's episode features @annamueller and @sethabrutyn discussing their new book Life Under Pressure (2024, Oxford University Press) with me.
We talk about their field site, Oak Grove, its high status, and high earning adult community, and the psychic pain that many young people experience.
Low and middle-income countries in Asia face significant disparities in scientific capacity and ability to influence public policy, which is likely to affect responses to future pandemics, climate change and technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, according to the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA).
I originally read the title as “it is more difficult to influence public policy in least-developed countries based on this study” but it appears it’s actually “it is more difficult for scientists to advocate for science-backed policies in least-developed countries.”
Hallo Fediverse! 👋
Ich bin noch ganz neu hier und schaue mich erstmal ein bisschen um, wie das hier so läuft.
Hat jemand Follow-Empfehlungen für mich?
Ich interessiere mich für Literatur, ganz allgemein und insbesondere Phantastik, Geschichte, Soziologie und eigentlich alles Mögliche 😀
Vielleicht lege ich mir hier noch einen Autorenaccount zu, vielleicht bleibt es bei dem hier und mal schauen, ob ich hier ein bisschen was über Lektoratskram poste ... Wir werden sehen 🙂
Hallo allerseits! 👋 🙂 Ich bin der Markus, Romanautor für Fantasy und Science Fiction, außerdem Illustrator, RPG-Designer und vieles mehr. Hauptsächlich bin ich hier auf Mastodon, um über meine Bücher, das Schreiben und allgemein kreative Betätigung zu plaudern. Ich bin gespannt, wen ich hier so alles kennenlernen werde. 😊
@kcarr2015 Yeah, the whole "is this person still that person" was interesting. It's one thing that Star Trek does pretty well presenting these dilemmas, Measure of Man, is another case, as well as the VOY episode where the Doctor wrote a holonovel and his publisher is like, you're not a person so this work belongs to us. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
"And the Band Played On is a 1993 American television film docudrama directed by Roger Spottiswoode. The teleplay by Arnold Schulman is based on the best-selling 1987 non-fiction book And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts, and is noteworthy for featuring both a vast historical scope, as well as an exceptionally sprawling cast."
Matthew Modine, Alan Alda, Ian McKellen, Richard Gere, Lily Tomlin, Swoosie Kurtz, Steve Martin, etc.
According to Wikipedia, it was his dyslexia that led him to science, as subjects where reading was a central focus were difficult for him. (UC Berkeley undergrad, UCLA Med Center residency).
I saw elsewhere here someone saying to stop using #Huel because it's ultimately camping food. One of my #neurospicy friends recommended it & my order came today. I'm sharing because for many #autistic people food prep is very draining & getting the #nutrition we need can be a challenge. I have the privilege of a very thoughtful & culinary partner who's kept me fed for over 2 decades. But this new career post gradschool has messed up my eating routine & I hope this will be a good supplement.
