Reporting that is driven by truth, not by what people in power want you to believe.
WorkWhat Donald Trump's Win Means For AIWhen Donald Trump was last President, ChatGPT had not yet been launched. Now, as he prepares to return to the White House after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, the artificial intelligence landscape looks quite different. Work
WorkTrumps return raises concerns about funding cuts and politicization at the NIH - STAT Change can leave us feeling uncertain. I do not want to dismiss those feelings, but I do want to remind everyone that throughout our 137-year history, the NIH mission has remained steadfast, and our staff has remained committed to the important work of biomedical research in the service of public health, she wrote in an email to staff on Wednesday obtained by STAT. WorkThe Case for Taking a Gap Year Before College - Harvard Business Review For many, heading straight to college and then into the working world is seen as the best way forward.

WorkWorkTrump advisers ramp up work on mass deportation push - WSJ WASHINGTON : Advisers to President-elect Donald Trump are drawing up plans to carry out his mass deportation pledge, including discussing how to pay for it and weighing a national emergency declaration that would allow the incoming administration to repurpose military assets to detain and remove migrants.
WorkWorkFor what comes next in markets, look back to 2016 - WSJ The challenge is to split out what he really plans to do, and in what order, from what was merely campaign rhetoric.

WorkWorkMeet the ham radio enthusiasts who help keep the New York Marathon running smoothlyBy any metric, the New York Marathon is an immense production. The 50,000+ runners who are starting the race on Sunday November 3 make this the world’s largest marathon. Their route will take them through all five of the city’s boroughs, from the starting line on Staten Island up through Brooklyn and Queens, across the Queensboro Bridge to Manhattan’s Upper East Side, north into the Bronx and then back down along the east side of Central Park to the finish line in the Park itself.
WorkWork WorkThe weeds are winningOn a languid, damp July morning, I meet weed scientist Aaron Hager outside the old Agronomy Seed House at the University of Illinois’ South Farm. In the distance are round barns built in the early 1900s, designed to withstand Midwestern windstorms. The sky is a formless white. It’s the day after a storm system hundreds of miles wide rolled through, churning out 80-mile-per-hour gusts and prompting dozens of tornado watches and sirens reminiscent of a Cold War bomb drill. WorkDonald Trump's Re
WorkWorkChina?s stimulus falls short, as a showdown with Trump looms - The Economist ECONOMIST SOMETIMES say that China suffers from the three Ds: debt, deflation and poor demographics. America?s presidential election added a fourth: Donald Trump, who has threatened to slap high tariffs on Chinese exports when he returns to the White House. To counter these dangers, investors had hoped China would announce a decisive fiscal rescue package after a legislative meeting on November 8th. China?s leaders, though, seem stuck in a cautious crouch. After the meeting, the finance ministry unveiled a new plan to tackle one of the Ds: debt. But it shared no new measures that would help it beat back deflation. WorkShould Alito and Thomas Be Pushed to Retire? Conservatives Are Divided.In January, when Mr. Trump assumes office, Republicans will hold the majority in the Senate, likely with a few seats to spare, giving the White House broad latitude to select particularly conservative nominees. It will diminish any moderating influence that the most centrist members of the Republican caucus, like Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, might otherwise have had. WorkMitochondria Are AliveIn a 1967 paper called “On the Origin of Mitosing Cells,” American evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis proposed an idea that, upon first hearing, seems ludicrous.

WorkInside the Federal Work Force That Trump Has Promised to EviscerateBut most federal workers do not have the option to retire or to transfer their expertise to the private sector. Their anxieties about the incoming administration extend well beyond the usual uncertainty about what a new president’s priorities and leadership team will be. WorkHow Trump's Win Is Explained by Right and Left Media OutletsIn one article, the reporter John Carney ticked through what he saw as the reasons behind Mr. Trump’s victory. He pointed to the costs of basic necessities like groceries, housing and health care, all of which had soared over the last four years, as well as fears surrounding high levels of immigration. Americans, in Mr. Carney’s view, wanted “less inflation, more economic nationalism and an economy they could feel great about again.” WorkThe Long Global Trail of Resentment Behind Trump's ResurrectionThe curious resurrection and resounding victory of Donald J. Trump amounted to the apotheosis of a long-gathering revolt against the established order. No warning of the fragility of democracy or freedom, no allusion to 20th-century cataclysm or Mr. Trump’s attraction to dictators, could hold back the tide. WorkIranian Agents Plotted to Kill Trump, U.S. Says in Unsealed ChargesThe new allegation about a plan to kill Mr. Trump is the latest alarming development for U.S. security officials, who have been concerned since the summer that Iran appeared to be escalating plans for violence inside the United States, including against the president-elect, who has been Tehran’s nemesis. WorkMPs urge government to regulate UK psychotherapists and counsellors“Anyone seeking therapy deserves to have confidence and trust in their healthcare professional, which is why we urge the use of qualified practitioners accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. To meet the standards for PSA accreditation, an organisation must have a focus on public protection and robust processes for handling complaints against practitioners.” WorkWorkWorkBig Tech Employees Quiet After Trump Is ElectedBut after this week’s presidential election, the largely liberal work forces of tech’s biggest companies were quiet. While the definitive nature of the election most likely played a role, the change also represented an effort by executives to dampen employee activism in recent years. They put in place policies restricting dialogue, monitored internal chat channels and vowed not to weigh in on the issues that fired up activist employees. WorkPiecing Life Back Together After Helene, One Mud-Splattered Photo at a TimeAfter 10 days, they came out mostly empty-handed, with only a handful of sentimental items, including a figure of Pumba from “The Lion King” and a photo album from a baseball tournament. Generations of family photographs, childhood art and toys that they had collected in their home of more than 40 years had been washed away by the immense floodwaters unleashed by Hurricane Helene. WorkTrump Wins Nevada, Flipping a Battleground StateMr. Trump’s campaign focused intently on turning out younger male voters and trying to chip away at the Democrats’ typical success with Latino voters, who make up 20 percent of Nevada’s registered voters. WorkWorkSeattle Police Arrest Man in Connection With Five StabbingsOn Thursday, the police arrested another man, who was armed with a knife and who had an outstanding felony warrant for possession of a stolen vehicle. The police said they are investigating whether he was connected to any of the 10 stabbings. WorkDemocrats Consider an Autopsy, but Who's the Coroner?Democrats didn’t do that after Hillary Clinton’s narrow defeat by Donald Trump in 2016. But as my colleague Adam Nagourney and I dialed up Democrats all over the country today, we got the sense that a push for a similar exercise had begun in some quarters. WorkWorkWorkI gave my DNA to tracking company - then it vanishedBut Prof Carissa Veliz - author of Privacy is Power - points out that DNA is arguably the most valuable personal data you have.

WorkVivian Tu, the 'Wall Street Girly,' Wants to Make Wealth More AccessibleIn doing so, Ms. Tu has turned herself into something of a money role model for the TikTok generation, particularly the women whom she calls “besties.” On her podcast, “Networth and Chill,” which had more than two million downloads in its first season, she promises “no dry economics lessons, though I will teach you about economics, and how it affects you.” WorkWorkVoter Turnout Figures Have Set Off Conspiracy Theories on the Left and RightAs more ballots were counted in the days since, estimates from The Associated Press suggest that the number of votes cast this year will be about 157.6 million, down about 700,000 from 2020. The gap between Mr. Trump and Ms. Harris has continued to narrow as more votes are counted in left-leaning states like California, Washington and Oregon, which take time to process mail ballots.
