"Do you think it's inappropriate in any way that someone w/ no experience w/ grants for the federal government was making personal judgment calls about what grants to cancel?" an attorney asked.
"Um, no. I don't think it's inappropriate," Cavanaugh said, arguing that he did not need formal education or experience to make informed judgments. 🤔

Inside Iran’s • Deep Underground Missile Cities
As the 2026 conflict intensifies, the true nature of Iran’s ‘strategic depth’ is coming to light. For years, the regime has boasted of its ‘missile cities’—vast, subterranean labyrinths buried hundreds of meters beneath the earth.

A growing problem at the interface of AI/LLMs & science is that while it raises research productivity (measured by publications & citations) it's also starting to narrow the problems that scientists work on.
It steers them towards areas & issues where there is abundant & reliable data.
When such data is less evident, the productivity gains by using AI/LLMs are less & so acts as a disincentive in a profession where publication is (often) everything.
This looks dangerous!

Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability
If you send a shock wave through a magnetized plasma–something that happens in both supernova explosions and inertial confinement fusion–it can trigger an instability known as the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. The image above shows a form of this, taken from a simulation. Rather than treating the plasma as a single idealized fluid, the researchers represented it as two fluids: an ion fluid and an electron fluid. This allowed them to better capture what happens when certain components of the plasma react to changes faster than others do.
The image itself shows the electron number density across the fluid, where darker colors represent higher electron number density. The interface between high and low-densities shows a roll-up instability that resembles the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, but there are also regions of mushroom-like plumes that more closely resemble Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities.
The authors note that these structures don’t appear in simulations that represent a plasma as a single fluid; you need the two-fluid representation to see them. (Image and research credit: O. Thompson et al.)

History is repeating itself, but on a far more lethal scale. Operation Epic Fury represents the largest American military buildup in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
