We fundraise to continue and expand the science we can bring you. It is not easy and sadly takes money, time, and effort. If you can help, please do.

If you care about science education (particularly women doing kick ass astronomy things), I encourage you to check out CosmoQuest - link in previous post. They do great work. If you can, donate. If you can’t, at least turn on their Twitch stream to show support. Dr. Pamela Gay and team are amazing!

After a 20 mile long run this past weekend and 735 miles run this year, I’m officially into taper. The Portland Marathon is October 5th. It’s come so fast but I’ll be ready. Training has gone well, I just need to remind myself I do this for fun… so have fun. You got this.

Half marathon in the books. 1:52:15. Marathon training block starts tomorrow. PDX full is 12 weeks from today. Goal time ~3:45 but I’ll be happy with anything under 4hrs.

I guess I need to have white men PI grants …
"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."
Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

Revenue at Duolingo in 2024 was up 41% on 23 to $748M. Net income was up by 451% for same period and yet they're firing workers. We've long been at "insatiable greed" point of late stage capitalism. People may feel helpless but there's a very easy way to kick companies like this. Delete their apps.
I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI.

I urge everyone to delete their app.
Duolingo CEO says he's getting rid of contract employees and replacing them with AI
Duolingo employees can also expect their AI use to be graded in their performance reviews.

4 runs and almost 16 miles last week with minimal knee discomfort. Things are progressing nicely. Hooray!

Base building for another ~3 weeks, then move into half training with plan to race July 4. From there, straight into full training for PDX on Oct. 5.

Screw foam rolling.

If it hurts this much, clearly I need it, but good grief.
