The South has a lot of problems, and I don't often feel like a Southerner. But I will always be proud that I grew up right down the road from where Dolly grew up.

It's been nine years since I investigated the fake "California South University," which clumsily stole its history from the real University of Alberta: groverlab.org/hnbfpr/2017-... Imagine the fake university they could make today using generative AI to steal from hundreds of real universities.

We already do this and companies who want them are happy to pay for PhD student interns. Why do precious and limited NSF funds need to be deployed for this? Most PhD student pursue industry jobs anyways - that has always been true. Use NSF funds to support basic science that industry wont support!

With academic jobs few and far between, the NSF is testing a new approach to graduate education: Giving Ph.D. students industry experience — and dollars — as part of their training. For more, see my latest for @statnews.com. www.statnews.com/2026/07/29/h...

Hey Bluesky geologists 🧪, we've had about 60 earthquakes over the past few weeks in a pretty small area in the hills between Riverside/MoVal and Redlands (including a few >3.0 that I've felt in Riverside). Is there anything interesting going on here?

"All the President's Men" is my all-time favorite movie. Lots of interesting tidbits and trivia about the movie in this thread:

Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein. I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”
