So the Epstein scandal is about politics? Silly me for thinking it’s about the mass abuse of women and girls | Marina Hyde Obsessing over individual players and political chaos leaves less time to focus on the misogyny. And that’s for the best, isn’t it guys, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

A lot has been written about the Epstein files lately, but I think this is the best piece. Marina Hyde asks what has anyone in power done to attack the structures and attitudes that allowed the abuse to happen? The answer: pretty much nothing at all.

Science has a short-term memory problem Scientists are trapped in an endless loop of grant applications. We’re wasting time and resources, when academia could be making breakthrough discoveries.

"It’s not that scientists aren’t capable of creative, exciting, ambitious work — they’ve just been forced to bend to a grant system that favors short, risk-averse projects. And if the grant system changes, odds are science will too."

Persistent evidential discordance | The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science: Vol 0, No ja

Different studies attempting to answer the same question don't always reach the same conclusion. Sometimes it's error, sometimes noise, but on some occasion, the discordance between the findings persists. How can that be? www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... #philsci #metasci

Opinion | U.N. Humanitarian Chief: World Leaders Are Failing Us They are breaking the compact between ordinary people and those in whom power is vested.

"If we are to have any hope for a better, more peaceful, more equitable future, we need world leaders who unite us, rather than continue to seek ways to divide us."
