HEATHER MAC DONALD: Diversity Over Discovery. Biden’s war on merit puts America’s scientific edge at risk. “His candidate to head the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the largest funder of the physical sciences in the U.S., is a soil geologist at the University of California, Merced. She has no background in physics, the science of energy, or the energy sector. She has never held a position as a scientific administrator.”
Asmeret Asefaw Berhe is, however, a black female who has won “accolades for her work to promote diversity in science,” as Science puts it. Berhe would be the first black woman to head the $7 billion office, and that is reason enough, according to the diversity mantra, why she should oversee X-ray synchrotrons, the development of nuclear weapons, and ongoing research on nuclear fusion. Her nomination requires Senate confirmation; if Berhe will not commit to hiring and grantmaking on the basis of scientific expertise alone, irrespective of race and sex, senators should vote her appointment down.
Previously, this office was typically headed by a physicist with managerial experience in a major physics lab. But then, none of her predecessors could boast of co-authoring an article titled, “A critical feminist approach to transforming workplace climate in the geosciences through community engagement and partnerships with societies.”
I've heard this pop up a couple of times, then listened to No Agenda. People have postponed funerals. Although, I do wonder if Hillary, Epstein, and Fauci are all in a refrigerated truck somewhere.

Hillary is dead. Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself. He is alive and currently at large, his death was faked and he escaped. Think Mossad. Fauci was arrested and released to continue playing a role in the Convid 1984 Hollywood Production.
Some progressives have opted to adhere to strict COVID-19 restrictions without scientific justification for doing so, ''a move that will erode trust in public health and make people less willing to take useful precautions,'' writes Emma Green for The Atlantic.
Green's essay, ''The Liberals Who Can't Quit Lockdown,'' scrutinizes specific communities for policies instituted and behaviors modeled that have ''veered away'' from scientific evidence as the year has progressed.
In Brookline, Massachusetts, leaders decided last week to keep an outdoor mask mandate in place after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed its guidance on that front. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in mid-April he hoped all California schools would open for in-person learning in the fall, but stopped short of a guarantee, stating that "mandates are not as often looked upon as favorably as you might think.''
In Somerville, Massachusetts, introduced in Green's article as ''the kind of community where residents proudly display rainbow yard signs declaring, 'In this house … we believe science is real,''' the issue of schools being slow to reopen was raised as a point of major contention between a group of mothers, including scientists, pediatricians, and doctors treating COVID-19 patients, and leaders like Mayor Joseph Curtatone.
''They saw the city's proposed safety measures as nonsensical and unscientific — a sort of hygiene theater that prioritized the appearance of protection over getting kids back to their classrooms,'' the article said, noting that a ''local leader appeared to describe parents who wanted a faster return to in-person instruction as '[expletive] white parents' in a virtual public meeting.''
It's a study, not a report. Its conclusions are theoretical bullshit with no facts supporting it.
It's a fucking "Estimate" and the media uses the word "says."
Fuck the Media, including Q13.
A study likely funded by marxists for their stooge sycophants masquerading as intellectuals.
And it pisses me off to no end when my own Alma Mater is doing it. i Even worse is the dumb-as-fuck media's erroneous misinterpretation of what it means.
WTF is in the water anymore? Nobody can tell the truth about anything, or even figure out what it is.

Perhaps the last 'honest' journalist in the Northwest.

She also works hard. Wink-Wink.
