This staff editorial solely represents the majority view of The Crimson Editorial Board. The history of white supremacy and slavery in America is being taught in troubling ways today – from textbooks in Texas leveraging subtle euphemisms that label slaves as run-of-the-mill “workers,” to New York classroom activities asking young Black students to reenact slave auctions in front of their white peers. Unhelpful and traumatizing practices like these are not only pernicious, but com...

Conclusion (~1,700 words). All backed up by over 200 references (~6,500 words). We must stop crediting the wrong people for inventions made by others. Instead lets heed the recent call in the journal Nature: "Let 2020 be the year in which we value those who ensure that science is self-correcting"[SV20]. Like those who know me can testify, finding and citing original sources of scientific and technological innovations is important to me, whether they are mine or other peoples [DL1][DL2][HIN]...

You could run Doom on 16 billion crabs Evolutionary biologists have observed that nature seems to have a strong preference for crabs – it’s evolved crab shapes several different times over the course of natural history. Given how many crabs there are in the world, it’s only natural that someone is going to figure out how to run Doom on them. Bizarre as that sounds, it’s theoretically possible to organise enough crabs to power the classic FPS game. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick tweeted...

Benchmarking Building Control Systems Thanks to Calibrated Models Sponsored by CSEMJan 19 2021 Buildings play an important role in total energy consumption and worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Smart control strategies are key technological enablers for reducing the GHG footprints of buildings. 3,4 but their simple nature, combined with possible tuning errors, can lead to sub-optimal control behavior. 5 Automatized, efficient building control can significantly reduce ene...
