Scientists reveal conditions in early solar system

Canceled University of Chicago geophysics professor Dorian Abbot spoke with Tucker Carlson about the downfalls of cancel culture and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) tactics.

Dorian Abbot is an associate professor of Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago. He was scheduled to deliver remotely the prestigious Carlson Lecture at MIT. This lecture is devoted to new results in climate science. However, bowing to the woke mob, MIT cancelled the lecture. Why? Because professor Abbot has argued for academic evaluations based on academic merit. This view shouldnt be controversial. However, as Abbot says, wokeism holds

Princeton University has had to expand the Zoom quota for Professor Dorian Abbots lecture as thousands registered. The MIT had cancelled it due to pressure from woke students.

MIT canceled a visiting professor’s lecture after many took to Twitter to call out his views on diversity higher ed.

The MIT has caved to the demands of progressive activists to cancel a guest lecture because of the speaker's opinions on diversity hiring.

Prof. Emeritus Victor Barcilon, applied mathematician and geophysical scientist, died April 15. He was 81. A longtime professor at the University of Chicago, Barcilon showed a gift for using a type of mathematics called asymptotic analysis to improve understanding of the physical principles behind the world, from the mechanics of neurons to the behavior of oceans, glaciers and rock over time. “The basic laws of physics in their general primitive form are too hard to understand and solve in mo...

SHARE Urban development in the UAE may have helped to limit pollution levels by reducing the amount of dust whipped up by the wind, according to new research. The study by scientists at Khalifa University of Science and Technology offered a new perspective on how urbanisation affects air quality by highlighting a way in which it may prove beneficial. The research also suggested that cloud seeding may likewise have helped to clean the air, by encouraging rainfall. The reduction we found is in th...
