It had potential. Though I think technically Star Trek:TAS only ran for 1.5 seasons, it will have more episodes. Also, don’t forget the short-lived Star Trek - Klingon Cooking Show which was pulled before air. The “Cooking with Bloodwine” episode would have reminded us all it is a good day to die.
In my last post of 2025, I review some of what science, and humanity, have lost in the last year

Love the detail. You can see Robby the Robot and Starbuck inside.
The CDC pages have now been hijacked for state sponsored disinformation. It is terrible to see this happening. This is ideology, unscientific, over facts, data and the scientific method.

Even if time is money, spend a little reading my latest post on efficiency in academia.

Agreed, but... I wish this sort of coverage had been more timely. We need preventative care or early treatment, not documentation of an autopsy.
Communication in science is critical. But top down communication in universities has been lacking.

The attacks on science are so unbelievable that I often think I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone, as I describe in my latest post.

But the White Stripes are ok? What about Jack Black?
There’s been so much resistance to accepted scientific fact, it was inevitable that a group of people would question the benefit of breathing. In this post, I talk to some of these folks, as they hold their breath.
