#Protest: The local chapter of #Indivisible is organizing a protest TOMORROW (February 20, 2025) at 12:00 PM outside of #Senator Shelley #Capito's office in Morgantown, #WestVirginia (at 48 Donley St). The purpose is to protest the unlawful executive orders that are gutting the federal government and putting Americans in danger.

Not sure if there's much of a reach to Morgantown or northern WV on the Fediverse, but you never know.

@Acermendax Bonjour, je viens d’écouter dans le Ça Coule de Source n°10 votre recension du « documentaire » #Mystification de #PatrickCohen sur #FranceTélévision, et je pense que vous ne devriez pas vous en tenir aux propos de #PatrickCohen, mais plutôt consulter le livre « Famine et Transformation Agricole en URSS » (Delga, 2017), traduction des travaux de l’historien #MarkTauger, étatsunien ( #WestVirginiaUniversity ) russophone, non connu pour être marxiste, et reconnu comme expert de l’histoire de l’agriculture russe.

Car il s’ouvre notamment sur une traduction du papier « Pavel Pantelimonovich Luk’ianenko and the Origins of the Soviet Green Revolution » présenté au « Second International Workshop on Lysenkoism », en 2012.

Je cite longuement ce papier dans mon précédent message sur l’état des connaissances historiographiques sur le lyssenkisme. J’y mentionne également la discussion « Holodomor » : une intoxication historique sur l’Ukraine en 1933 » sur le forum de l’ #Afis, période que vous évoquez en passant dans votre recension.

le lyssenkisme, qui, dans l’Union soviétique de #Staline, entraîna le bannissement de la génétique au nom de l’idéologie #communiste

Sur #Lyssenko, il y a peu d’archives.

#TrofimLyssenko est à part. C’est un #agronome de base qui, grâce à #Staline, arrive à dominer la biologie en #UnionSoviétique et à faire interdire la génétique jugée "bourgeoise"

[F]. Conclusions

The work of #Lukianenko and certain other grain breeders led to an explosion of research on HYVs in #Russia from the 1960s onward, as well as substantial genetics research and greatly improved education that began even before #Lysenko’s removal from power. These topics, however, lie outside the scope of this article. (109) This study of #Lukianenko challenges the prevailing view that #Lysenko held back Soviet genetics for a generation. While certainly during the heyday of #Lysenkoism, the #Soviet regime victimized many excellent #Soviet geneticists and wasted money and time on fraudulent Lysenkoists’ “research,” many other scientists conducted valid, substantial, and important work—particularly in the area of plant breeding. #Lukianenko was not the only agricultural scientist who did such research in these years, but his work had more national and international significance than that of any other #Soviet agricultural scientist in this period.

This work differed greatly from the conventional view of scientific research in the time of #Lysenko: #Lukianenko’s work began before #Lysenko’s rise and continued despite his dominance. #Lukianenko’s work relied substantially on plant varieties from outside the #USSR, in many cases brought into the #USSR through the work of #NikolaiVavilov. He also relied on conventional principles of genetics, including the guidelines for plant breeding published by #Vavilov, as well as some breeding theories and techniques from outside the #USSR. In particular he and his co-workers independently sought and achieved the same goals as the Italians around #Strampelli in the early 20th century and #Borlaug in the #GreenRevolution of the 1950s-1960s.

#Lukianenko’s work during #Lysenko’s time and afterwards produced several extremely important wheat varieties that had the same characteristics as the #GreenRevolution varieties created by #Borlaug. #Lukianenko’s Bezostaia-1, a semi-dwarf rust resistant HYV earned the highest praise from European and American breeders including #Borlaug as one of the best of the HYVs. This finding thus goes beyond even #Krementsov’s points about scientists’ evasion of #Lysenko. The work of #Lukianenko and his colleagues, more than simply continuing previous genetics-based work in plant breeding, achieved breakthroughs that put it at the forefront of world wheat breeding, both in their methods and their results. Because of the accomplishments of #Lukianenko and his co-workers in #Krasnodar, a post-Soviet Russian symposium on breeding of wheat and triticale commemorating #Lukianenko was entitled “The Green Revolution of P. P. Luk’ianenko.” (111) Thus despite #Lysenko, Soviet agronomists and #agriculture thus participated in the international #GreenRevolution under #Lysenko’s dominance as well as afterwards.

"West Virginia University’s president, E. Gordon Gee, says that what is happening on campus is part of a larger trend taking place across the country. I hope he’s wrong." What's wrong -- at least one of the things in this sad affair -- is #Gee's passive formulation. What's happening at #WestVirginiaUniversity is as much his responsibility as anyone else's. His record of university presidencies tells the story of this once #history major's intense commitment to wealth. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/08/23/west-virginia-university-budget-cuts-humanities/

West Virginia University is axing 32 majors--after accepting enrollment and tuition payments for the same.

#WVU #WestVirginiaUniversity #WestVirginiaNeedsLanguages

Colleagues at #WestVirginiaUniversity (#WVU) are suffering the closure of their department *despite* meeting all neoliberal/corporate university funding goals (i.e. the department is a profit center through grants, etc). The bloated administration apparently faces structural problems in its budget and the only way to fix it is to close whole programs.

Horrifying. Jonah Katz, one of the affected profs, would like us to help spread the word: https://community.wvu.edu/~jokatz/Closure/

#UniversitiesArePublicGoods

Administrators are presenting the deep cuts to academic programs at #WestVirginiaUniversity as the result of factors beyond their control. #WVU's financial problems are the result of their mismanagement (as well as the continuing failure of the state to properly fund #HigherEducation for its residents).

A blog post from WVU employees detailing the story the media is ignoring in favor of the party line:

alright so I hate to be negative right out the gate on the new server but . . . things are not right at #westvirginiauniversity right now. no more foreign languages? no public administration? we need attention, and some help . . .
