Sam Altman claims that science will be finished by AI in a few years. This is reminiscent of 20th century scientists who said similar things, but still, science is far from finished. I think the more we know about science, the more unanswered questions we will be left with.

Every Scientific Empire Comes to an End
#America’s run as premier techno-superpower may be over.
On a visit to MIT a #scientist, much celebrated in her field, said since Trump’s second inauguration she watched in horror as administration has performed a controlled demolition on American #science. Like many other #US researchers, she’s not sure she wants to stick around to dodge falling debris, and is starting to think about taking her lab abroad.

🧵 3/ #Artist and #scientist Kirsten Kurtz was one of my inspirations: soilpainting.com/ I came to know about her via the UN global #soil painting contest in 2017: news.cornell.edu/stories/2017/

She has a recipe using clear gesso and varnish, it's the best if your piece of art should exist longer: soilpainting.com/soil-painting

Soil PaintingSoil PaintingKirsten Kurtz I am a formally trained artist and scientist. And I’ve married my love of both art and science by creating paintings made entirely of pigments derived from soil. I discovered and honed this technique of mixing various dried soils with a gesso binder while working on the senior thesis to complete my B.A.…

Dr. Mark Showalter’s research focuses on the dynamics of rings and small moons in the Solar System. Dr. Showalter’s early work with Voyager data led to the discoveries of Jupiter's faint, outer "gossamer" rings and Saturn's tiny ring-moon, Pan.

In 2011, Dr. Showalter initiated a Hubble observing program focused on Pluto, which led to the discovery of two tiny moons. Their names, "Kerberos" and "Styx", were selected through an international naming campaign.

www.linkedin.comBefore 1834, they were 'natural philosophers'; after one man's insight, they became 'scientists'—a term that reshaped the world. | Michael MagriBefore 1834, they were 'natural philosophers'; after one man's insight, they became 'scientists'—a term that reshaped the world. The word "scientist" as we know it didn't always exist. Think about that for a moment. It was in 1834 that William Whewell, a philosopher and historian of science, first put the term "scientist" into print. He suggested it because the study of nature was becoming fragmented. You had chemists, mathematicians, and physicists, all working in their own specialized areas. Whewell saw the need for a unifying term, much like the word "artist" describes individuals across various creative fields. Interestingly, he introduced the term not in his own major work, but in an anonymous review of a book titled *On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences*, written by Mary Somerville. While Whewell first proposed the idea at a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Cambridge in 1833, it made its published debut the following year. It wasn't an instant success. For many years, people still commonly referred to these individuals as "natural philosophers" or "men of science." But gradually, the term "scientist" gained traction, and by the late 19th or early 20th century, it became the standard identifier. This single word helped to define a profession and provide a common identity for those dedicated to understanding the natural world Sources: The Quarterly Review, Reports from the British Association for the Advancement of Science
