Is there such a thing as a good or bad Catholic? If so, who decides and how do you decide? What does the Bible say? When I interviewed Harry Clark, he was curious about the answers to these questions so I thought I’d ask you wonderful people - what are your thoughts? #catholic

Phenomenal. In my 10 year update of A Brief History, I make the point that in the first edition, not one disease had been successfully treated using gene therapy. Today that number is at least 7.

At lightening speed (for me), I've written up my talk from ResearchED this month. Can AI help with formative assessment? profbeckyallen.substack.com/p/can-ai-hel...
Feel like we should bring back the old twitter follow friday to boost good people on here who maybe didn't get an initial boost from the starter packs.
So follow @psurridge.bsky.social and @profjanegreen.bsky.social - two excellent and thoughtful political scientists.

"Essays serve a learning purpose. We never taught students how to write essays just so that they would learn to write essays. We teach them to write essays as a means of helping them think."
New post just out:

Get vaccinated, and make sure all your loved ones are too. Because so many Americans won't and the US is therefore becoming a health danger to the world.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
A benefit of having my website is that there is a place to put everything.
My physics resources are here, and I will gradually upload the things on my laptop and the things in my brain that could be of use to this section.
