You know, the British Science Association promotes STEAM as a way to combat that, particularly within the STEM pipeline starting at young people.

“As a Hispanic-American, I have been fortunate to navigate through the clutter of the STEM world and find and pursue my passion. For many, the thought of STEM studies – and the enormity of the term – creates fear before consideration of the potential reward. We need more education and access in all communities, representing people of all ethnic backgrounds and walks of life, providing a clear understanding of the many exciting paths available in STEM so that kids can find the specific field that inspires them.”

Unfortunately, as Stukalsky and visionaries like him would tell you, “We need minorities” is not a diversity strategy. Encouraging non-white talent from all aspects of the socioeconomic spectrum to consider a technical career requires unfettered access and opportunity. In fact, lumping all our efforts behind this clunky, tired acronym of STEM only dissuades young people from trying out fields that might interest them due to false equivalencies.

Maybe there’s an economically disadvantaged student whose life was touched by cancer, who dreams passionately of going to medical school and curing cancer. She might be reluctant to participate in STEM camps and the like because she struggles with math, and to most, “STEM” equals “math.” Or she might feel that such programs only cater to teaching software programming, which doesn’t interest her. How do we open the doors for her to pursue a career in medicine when we’ve grouped what is arguably the most important field in the universe with a bunch of unrelated subjects?

I think that’s the point, the arbitrary division line over the arts and sciences is a wildly restrictive categorisation.

Most scientists I know are highly creative and very arts literate. Likewise, many professional artists are highly technical in practice.

There ain’t no rift in STEAM.

The big brain move was to ask them first, thereby proving you wanted to use their IP.

If he had just faked it anyway without asking he might have got away with it.

Genius strategist.

Yeah? Cool.

I don’t think that’s true. There’s a great video here that highlights the fact that even a lot of modern slang is far older than you think.

Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.

Which is cool, I guess, whatever.

This is so on form for UCLAN.

This is the family edit version. The other version the OP has posted include the TV edit, the studio DVD, the criterion collection and, of course, the extended cut directors edit.

Cranberries evolved so they wouldn’t be eaten.

Most fruits want to be eaten so that birds disperse the seeds.

Their preferred method of dispersal was dropping into flowing water, so that they could find somewhere nice to grow near water.

The astringent taste was to stop birds eating them. They became buoyant in water to help them float down stream.

Humans appeared and loved that dry flavour.

Became one of the most eaten fruits on the planet.

Humans even harvest them by flooding and using their own buoyancy against them.

They will get their revenge.

I like following verbal meme trends, then watching them die out.

Couple of years ago everyone described nearly everything as “spicy”.

The overuse if “hear me out” before making a mid statement.

That dark period of time when people used “amazeballs”.

It’s always been about context and provenance. Who took the image? Are there supporting accounts?

But also, it has always been about the knowlege that no one… Absolutely no one… Does lines of coke from a woven mat floor covering.

He’s been arrested, not sentenced. That’s the innocent until proven guilty bit.

Not sure where you are from, but I suspect not the UK.

Dan Simmons, Hyperion… Or Carrion Comfort.

I’d love to see some modern tries at Dashiel Hammet’s work too.

Seconded.

Huffing lead is just OG eating microplastics.

The forgotten generation. Little chance of owning a hone or a business, skipped over for work.

Still, at least we have spent our whole lives learning to be slackers.

Yeah, some folks don’t get sarcasm, huh?

Will people please stop using lazy as a synonym for bad writing?

There are so many reasons why someone might be bad at writing and many of them are far from “lazy”.

If there’s in thing about us lazy folk, it is being able to write as concisely as possible to conserve energy.

Not only is the use of “lazy” rude it is uninformed.

And will people please stop using “uninformed” as a synonym for people who aren’t very smart.

There are so many reasons why…
