Matt is by far my favorite science only communicator. For long form general academia, though, goes to Curt Jaimungal.

Would any deal be legitimate under a war time presidency that barely has a functional government? I’m all for arming up Ukraine but this will have severe austere consequences and should have normal representative proceedings.
