The disappointment of going to move your laundry and the dryer being full. And the joy of finding it free.

One, a senior adviser to the director, is a 21-year-old whose online résumé touts his work for Palantir, the government contractor and analytics firm cofounded by billionaire Peter Thiel, who is its chair.

Have to agree. PIs of labs are expected to be CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, etc. We aren’t going to be very effective CMOs competing with dark money especially without new resources to do so.
But scientists have almost no control over whether the public trusts science. And they can’t fight well funded right wing actors pushing mistrust in science and intellectual elites 3
