  1. She should resigned and let a person of color be editor.

    I hear Kamala Harris will be looking for a job. She can expound on the passage of time, or discuss the physics of French fries.

  2. She wants to “bend the moral arc of the universe”. I wonder if it affects her judgement at Scientific American?

  3. Just another of the many, many, many mentally ill leftoid “females”
    She deserves every little bit of anguish she’s experiencing and then some.
    Now let me laugh at her while I celebrate DJT’s triumph!

  4. “She has a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience from the University of California, Berkeley. She recently won a Friend of Darwin Award”

    I nominate her for the Lysenko Prize in science ignorance.

    1. She has a degree possible through Affirmative Action. This woman did not have to meet the same academic admission requirements that every straight White male who applied to any Berkley graduate program had to meet. See Alan Bakke SCOTUS decision 1978.

  5. “Ladies and gentlemen, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American.”

    Yeah, I know. It’s been that way since the early 2000s, when I (and everyone else) stopped buying Scientific American. The last few years it has gotten comical, you can giggle at the cover every month. When a science monthly becomes a substitute for MAD Magazine.

    These days I watch Sabine Hossenfelder on Youtube. That pink shirt really does it for me. ~:D

  6. Many universities are going politically neutral. The administration will no longer take a stand on politically charged issues unless it directly relates to the institution. Teachers and students, of course, are free to speak as they will.

    They’re doing this because they realized that the politicization of their institution was eroding trust. The public saw them as indoctrinating rather than educating. And students and teachers were worried that they would be punished if they took political stances contrary to the administration. Specifically, conservatives now view academia as hostile territory.

    Scientific American should maybe learn from this. They have sharply veered out of their lane, and as a result are undermining trust in them and their very purpose for existing.

    I made a series of offensive and inappropriate posts on my personal Bluesky account on election night, and I am sorry. I respect and value people across the political spectrum. These posts, which I have deleted, do not reflect my beliefs; they were a mistaken expression of shock and confusion about the election results. These posts of course do not reflect the position of Scientific American or my colleagues. I am committed to civil communication and editorial objectivity.
