After accepting their awards, the winners answered questions submitted by current students, focusing on everything from work/life balance to overcoming bumps in a career path.

An online service emulates its bigger social media rivals. Thu Dec 17, 2020 If you think that the Microsoft-owned social media platform LinkedIn is just about professional and business connections with no politics, you would be wrong. The online service appears now to be emulating its bigger social media rivals at Facebook, Google and Twitter in censoring views with which it disagrees. My second run-in with LinkedIn censors in as many months occurred recently, when they removed a post linking to a new CO2 Coalition paper on global temperatures. According to LinkedIn, the post was removed because it “goes against our Professional Community Policies.”

Summary
For 2 years, NASA s InSight spacecraft has been on the surface of Mars, spending much of that time listening with sensitive seismometers for marsquakes to glean the planet s internal structure, and the processes that in turn formed it. That hunt has been harder than hoped, because of howling winds, defiant martian soil, and a mysterious absence of large marsquakes that could easily be located by the spacecraft. Despite that, using nearly 500 small quakes, the mission has seen hints of boundaries in the rock, tens and hundreds of kilometers below. The results, some debuting this month at an online meeting of the American Geophysical Union, show the planet s crust is surprisingly thin, its mantle cooler than expected, and its large iron core still molten. The findings suggest that in its infancy, Mars efficiently shed heat perhaps through a pattern of upwelling mantle rock and subducting crust similar to plate tectonics on Earth.View Full Text

Interestingly, one of my reasons to move to NZ was the close distance to several nuclear power plants in Europe (Germany and France). My neighbour worked in one of them and after hearing his inside stories you know that most promises / claims by the nuclear industry are worthless bullshit.
If they really believe they are 100% safe, they wouldn t have the nuclear power plants in limited liability sub-companies and they would be able to properly ensure them.
And there s still the nuclear waste from running and decommissioning the power plants. The German power companies immediately agreed to pay 5 billion Euros to the German government to rid themselves from such problems… similar to other polluting options it s all economical while the pollution is for free.
