Alondra Nelson, who has studied the societal impacts of emerging technology, as well as racism in science and medicine, will help lead the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) as deputy director for science and society, Biden announced on 15 January. She has spoken and written about divisive and controversial subjects in bioethics, such as gene editing and direct-to-consumer genetic tests. Scholars say her inclusion on Biden’s science team emphasizes the importance of science’s effect on society, and vice versa. (from the article)

Welcome back for the spring semester! Even if it's back to your bedroom, welcome.Welcome back for the spring semester! Even if it's back to your bedroom, welcome.

Recentering this.

Remarkable action by a media company to silence the President of the United States.

A summary of today’s events at the Capitol.

Absolutely unusual!

Gringo : - Hi, where are you from? Mexican: - Hi, I’m from Mexico Gringo : - Ah! The land of Chapo Guzmán, narcos, marijuana, crime and extortion.... Mexican -I’m sorry, are you a drug addict or a TV junkie? Gringo - No!!! Why? Mexican -Because if you were an athlete or sports fan, you would have identified Mexico with Ana Guevara, Hugo Sanchez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Finito, Chicharito Hernandez, Canelo Alvarez, Rafael Marquez, etc. If you were an educated person, you would have asked about the Aztec empire, the Mayan culture, the Olmecs or any other of the great mesoamerican cultures. If you were a well traveled person you would have talked about our majestic archaeological sites, our tourist-friendly colonial cities, our megalopolis or our exotic beaches the astonishing biodiversity of our rainforests, mountain ranges, deserts, conifer forests You could have identified Mexico with our great painters, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Rufino Tamayo, Frida Khalo, José Clemente Orozco; our composers: Agustín Lara, Consuelo Velázquez, Armando Manzanero, Juan Gabriel Jose Alfredo Jimenez, our writers and poets: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Juan Rulfo, Octavio Paz, Juan José Arreola, Elena Poniatowska, Amado Nervo, Jaime Sabines; our inventors or scientists: Manuel Mondragón, Guillermo González Camarera, Luis Ernesto Miramontes; our cinematographers: Ismael Rodríguez, Emilio Fernández, Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Emmanuel Lubezki, and even Luis Buñuel, who, being originally from Spain, chose to adopt the Mexican nationality... If you were a gourmand, you would have asked about Tamales, Cochinita Pibil, Mole, Adobo, Chilaquiles, Chiles en nogada, Guacamole, Pan de Muerto, etc. Or our traditional beverages: Tequila, Mezcal, wines and beers. However, I can see, the only thing you can relate to Mexico is the provider to American drug addicts... I just want you to realize that México is a lot more than what ignorant people and fear-mongering media knows or chooses to propagate. There are millions of honest Mexicans, who even without knowing you, will open the door to our homes, and that if you care to visit, you will love to get to know

Weber's Three Types of Authority

Ericka Flores graduated from SBVC with an AA in Liberal Arts and is now attending law school! Read her inspiring story below: "I’m a proud product of #community...college. When I graduated high school, there was no #DACA, no dream act, no nothing for #undocumented students. But @sbvalleycollege opened its arms to me and allowed me to yearn for more. After I saved money, and only after having some benefits of #DACA, I went onto @csusb. There, I dreamed of law school and realized I could do it, and was going to attend @southwesternlawschool. Why do I share this? Because whether you’re documented or not, but are unsure if you are law school material: I’m here to tell you that you are! Now I get to walk the halls of my law school library and remind myself that I earned my way there. After attending more than 12 different elementary/middle schools, 5 different high schools and taking the LSAT 3 times, I made it." Thanks for sharing your story, Ericka! Good luck on your future endeavors!

If you aren't given all the context, it's easy to draw false conclusions from true information. Aliya Jasmine shares some common ways that happens and how you can avoid sharing misinformation.

"I plan to lead another non-violent march tomorrow" - In this political cartoon from The Birmingham News, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is depicted talking to a r...eporter, while standing amidst chaos and destruction from a recent Civil Rights March, 1967. The effort to discredit marches and protests by fabricating stories of violence, or by highlighting a relatively small number of cases where violence occured, is a common tactic used by those who seek to resist social change.

It seems strange that an ordinary patch of land like this could offer clues about the political leanings of its inhabitants. But to some degree, it can.
