Joe Biden's dishonesty: stealth advisors
It turns out that Joe Biden's campaign is telling the people who advise Joe on the economy shouldn't tell anyone that they are doing so.

Either on TV or to virtual class rooms full of students. In either case not revealing that they are on Team Biden as they push Biden's economic position is amazingly dishonest. Clearly someone who is advising Biden supports Biden which is fine but for them to conceal that link by pretending to be neu... more »

A Report From The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone In Seattle
The other day, the police announced that they were gathering their things and leaving their precinct. What do you make of this? This, to be very honest, is anyone’s guess.

Grant at Appomattox, but maybe — just maybe — the Civil War is finally coming to an end. And perhaps Donald Trump, not Jefferson Davis, will go down in history as the last president of the Confederacy.

What is the Role of T Cells in Coronavirus Vaccine Development?
*Sheena Cruickshank, Daniel M Davis* *Science, * We are still learning about our adaptive immune response to the novel coronavirus. Developing a vaccine is difficult at the best of times, but rarely have we been in a situation where basic knowledge about a virus has to be acquired so directly alongside the race to eradicate it. To understand how difficult this task is, we must appreciate the complexity of how our immune system responds to an infection.

Quarks and Finnegan’s Wake
In the 1960s, physicists trying to explore the microscopic depths of matter discovered that protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles—each is made out of three elementary particles. Physicist Murray Gell-Mann decided to call the three elementary particles “quarks,” a name that he got from a line in a whimsical poem in James Joyce’s *Finnegan’s Wake*: Three quarks for Muster Mark! Sure he has not got much of a bark And sure any he has it’s all beside the mark. Gell-Mann thought that the line by Joyce was appropriate because the elementary particles came in sets of three to cr... more »
