I write @MindingCampus on the recent kerfuffle over NIH limiting #AI tools to write grant proposals, and limiting PIs to just six😢proposals per year. These reforms miss the problem and will likely be ineffective. @NASorg @mitfreespeech @CUFreeSpeech mindingthecampus.org/2025/07/30/nih…

The Scopes monkey trial centennial is coming up soon. Why was anti-evolutionism such a powerful movement in the 1920s South? Hint: it wasn't anti-science fundamentalism. @MindingCampus @NASorg #scopes @ACLU mindingthecampus.org/2025/06/27/the…
