  1. Some pundits (and some colleagues) claim we teach too much math. How do we respond? I'll share some thoughts at the CMC-North conference in Asilomar.

  6. “Asilomar’s scientific heirs opportunistically leveraged their arcane knowledge into cash for themselves and risk for the remainder of humanity.” Global Civil Society demands no more insider regulation of biotech. “We are at a point in human history when technological developments, including genetic engineering, bioweapons, virological research, synbio and other technologies, carry existential threats to health, the environment, the economy and human society.” #asilomar☣️ independentsciencenews.org/com

  7. Civil society groups warn new #Asilomar conference: Scientists must not be allowed to self-regulate. Insider regulation of biotech does not work with techs that can pose “existential threats” to humanity gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest

  8. Excellent episode of Science In Action.

    Thoughtful + alarming on #H5N1 but piece on self regulation by genetic scientists was super interesting:
    #glaciology is also having this discussion, now on #geoengineering. Time for a new #Asilomar?

    "The famed 1975 conference about a controversial genetic technology is feted as an example of how scientific self-regulation works. But more significant is what wasn’t discussed.

    (. . .)

    By the end of the meeting, its participants had agreed to adopt biosafety protocols that are still in force in the United States, and which have hugely influenced similar regulations worldwide. The meeting has become known simply as Asilomar, a byword for how a scientific community came together to forge consensus on a thorny topic. It is often held up as an example of how science can self-regulate without the involvement of politicians (although some criticize it for just those same reasons). Periodic calls can be heard for ‘another Asilomar’ in other potentially hazardous fields such as synthetic biology, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.

    But grasping the full significance of a historic event often involves understanding what was not discussed and highlighting the decisions that were not taken. Half a century on from Asilomar, that longer view provides a different perspective on two unspoken, yet essential, issues that loomed in the background of the meeting — the technology’s potential for creating riches and for destroying human life."

  18. Asilomar Beach in Pacific Grove 💙 oil pastel painting, 16x20

    One of my favorite places to visit and paint is Asilomar. Walking along the beach, watching the waves and taking in the beauty, I was inspired to paint this.

    Fine art prints available.

  20. Hundreds of thousands of By-the-wind-sailors (Velella velella; which are an unusual floating colonial athecate hydroid) just blanketing Asilomar this morning 🤯 They're making the waves *thick* with their doomed corpses. There was also a bonus Gulfweed Crab (Planes minutus) hanging around.
