Nature magazine asked scientists what sparked their careers.
A dog. A telescope. A sheep skull cleaned by a grandmother.
Not one of them mentioned a coaching class.
Some thoughts on what that means for how we raise curious children.

Excellent piece by @MariaMathai on current international student recruitment practices in India and what can change. I was a beneficiary of CEC in 2004, it may be the time to bring back a similar model.

My article @the_hindu: While @ttovino's 2018 based on solidarity and unity, becomes the biggest Malayalam hit, Kerala Story, targeting Muslims and Kerala, becomes a blockbuster elsewhere. When a nation embraces Goebbelsian propaganda as artistic imagination, it is in deep peril.

Marc Andreessen recently tweeted “In our new era of AI: Every child will have an A.I. tutor that is infinitely patient, infinitely knowledgeable, infinitely helpful.”

That era is here.

Monday morning crusade sorry. Someone needs to find a solution to subvert the algorithms targeting teens. Where is the app/algo equivalent of netnanny?

If it's too good to be true, it probably is. You don’t need a representative for your immigration application, but if you decide to use one, choose carefully. Learn how to protect yourself from fraud by hiring an authorized paid representative: https://t.co/y7ySdW7p9R

My Op-Ed in @IndianExpress today about the film #MrsChatterjeeVsNorway. It incorrectly depicts Norway’s belief in family life and our respect for different cultures. Child welfare is a matter of great responsibility, never motivated by payments or profit. #Norwaycares

To support Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy and boost our global immigration processing capacity, we are opening a new application processing centre in Manila, Philippines. Our goal is to bring more people to Canada to visit, study, work or live permanently: https://t.co/YUGrlMiG8I

The Australian government has announced the expansion of #poststudywork rights, which now include a wide range of qualifications.

45% of international students in #highered are currently enrolled in discipline areas that will make them eligible for these additional work rights.
