On March 4, 1969, the Union of Concerned Scientists held its first public event at MIT with the goal of disrupting teaching and research to give way to a different kind of teaching-reflecting on the misuse of scientific knowledge. It's relevance is continued.
The emergence of COVID-19 has drastically upended the academic enterprise. Because of physical distancing, many non-tenured faculty members are facing additional, unexpected obstacles in their promotion and tenure trajectory. Transitioning classes to online learning environments will detract from research efforts, and winding down laboratory operations will result in a more direct reduction in research output.…
Facts are the science world’s stock-in-trade, but in an era of fake news it is ever more important to build public trust by avoiding exaggerated claims and jargon.
