   @danielskatz I did not realize he'd published this. I wonder if the astro department here has seen it!

   I'm actually really sad Mike W isn't around to talk about this with. He and Paul worked together frequently.

     I'm currently reading https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538181614/Rescuing-Science-Restoring-Trust-In-an-Age-of-Doubt. I've made it through about half so far, and while I like some of it, and agree with the main ideas of it, it also seems much more pessimistic than my experiences as a student and an academic. I wonder if computer science is different than some of the other fields discussed, or if my part of it is, or if my experience outside of the tenure-track system makes things seem better to me than to the author.
