213: Paying It Forward
For science in particular, great leaps forward sometimes happen primarily because a person with means chooses to leave a very different legacy than a name on a building. The birth control pill is one example, a particularly relevant one still today.

211: Just One More Thing
I have questions about immigration and the current state of our policies as a nation.

209: Taking Sides
Far too often, discussions about politics and religion (or even popular culture) are being compromised if not thwarted by blind devotion to entrenched positions. We are becoming more segregated than at any point in my lifetime, not just along arbitrary divisions of race. It's two kinds of news, or even in the minds of some people two kinds of bakeries. Tragically, we are watching an "us versus them" siege play out before our eyes and ears. I've no doubt that I have been impacted, too. Potential ...

204: Revolution As Dissent
If we don't speak up now, raising our voices in dissent, then when will we? An argument could be made that the powers-that-be are striving to stifle the means by which those voices may be heard. Now is the time to speak in favor of Net Neutrality . Now is the time to note that we will never be able to return to this moment in history . Now is the time to insist the our leaders put nation ahead of party, the intent of our so-called "founding fathers" above self-interest. Now is the time for all g...

In American amateur sports, women have been making the biggest impact for a decade now. There are multiple reasons. One of the most interesting, though, is an example of the great things that happen for society as a whole when principles of equality are put into place. It’s more than just a game.
