  1. Nauru (an island to the northeast of Australia) has just changed its name to the Republic of Naoero.

    I'm only mentioning this because my housemate is doing her final post-marking edits for her phd, which is about Australia's illegal treatment of asylum seekers through off-shore detention and how we contravene their right to health, and it mentions this country a LOT.

    And before anyone ReplyGuys—no, it isn't as easy as "find & replace".

  2. Wonderful little #computing #history story highlighting that there is both a global institution that happens to be in #cambridge and there's the local #university ;-)

    Joins together somewhat with the fact that the #sinclair building is now part of the #ARU estate and of course that Acorn went on to become Acorn Risc Machines (ARM), with a little help from an #engineer from 'the tech'.

  12. Quick! Get her!

    "A student at the #University of #Exeter has alleged that she was subjected to a torrent of #antisemitic abuse on #campus, despite not being #Jewish, simply due to her work with a #Holocaust #education charity.

    #AmberleyThay, 20, a third-year history student who works as a regional ambassador for the Holocaust Educational Trust ( #HET), claimed to have been labelled a “mouthpiece for #Israel” thanks to her advocacy for more comprehensive teaching about the #Shoah.

    She has been involved with the charity for four years, first engaging with it during a visit to #Auschwitz as part of its Lessons from Auschwitz project."

  15. RE: mastodon.social/@ieeespectrum/

    “When a #satellite demises, it's still there in the #atmosphere in the form of small particles of #aluminum, and we don’t know what these particles actually do in the atmosphere.” Most of this destruction happens at altitudes between 60 and 80 kilometers—too high for balloons 🎈 and planes to reach, but too low for satellites to sample.

  17. Robert Socolow was a founder of the Carbon Mitigation Initiative of #Princeton University. He has articulated pathways to reduction of carbon dioxide emissions for minimizing climate change, especially the concept of climate stabilization wedge.

    In his 2007 Senate testimony, Robert Socolow cited the proposed 500-MW H2 and #CCS project at BP's Carson refinery in California as evidence of the technology's commercial maturity. The project was highlighted as an example of a near-commercial, full-scale deployment effort.
    But it never happened.

  18. A quotation from Henry Commager

    We are shocked when we see educators, timid before criticism and confused about first principles, betray their trust. And we wonder what can be that "philosophy of education" which believes that young people can be trained to the duties of citizenship by wrapping their minds in cotton wool.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 1, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168
