1/ One highlight of recent global trip with USSOCOM Special Forces was Gen Braga—a scholarly warrior, fiercely erudite, in 60 seconds could take you through regional geopolitical consequences, historical considerations, technological advantage.

Before heading up the Pacific...
2/ Before heading the Pacific Gen Braga helped lead surge and coalition forces to drive ISIS out of key Syrian cities...
3/ And also was rare US official to publicly confirm intel of secret Russian mercenaries operatives on the ground in Syria who then faced warning and combat from US troops

1/Some GOOD news about a BAD thing—
The former is from science, the latter from nature.

SCIENCE is about better explanations
The better we can explain something the better we can understand (& control it)
The good news is we have a better explanation for a bad thing from nature.
2/ The BAD thing is cancer.

No amount of hope + prayer will better explain cancer—only science will

The GOOD news is we have a new powerful explanation for a key piece of cancer...
3/The better news is SCIENCE works to invite error correction—to evolve better explanations.

Scientists don’t just declare things in a hyped up stage show—they publish it for the scrutiny of skeptics.

Scientific status comes partly by surviving this scrutiny.

Beto is going to generate a lot of Takes and then there will be a backlash to the Takes and then a backlash to the backlash and a backlash to the backlash to the backlash and all of that is only going to generate even more Takes.
That is potentially quite a helpful dynamic if you're one of 15-20 candidates running for the nomination and trying to stand out in a crowded field. 53eig.ht/2LPAavx
Forgot to use the opportunity to re-up my own recent Beto #Take. 53eig.ht/2ER9MA0

இரண்டாம் உலகப்போருக்கு பிறகு ராணுவத்தில் சிறப்பு அதிரடி படைகள் (special forces) பலவற்றின் அவசியத்தையும் தேவைகளையும் உணர்ந்த பல நாட்டு ராணுவ மூளைகள் பல சிறப்பு படைகளை உருவாக்கின

அவற்றில்

ஜெர்மனியின் gruppen

அவர்களின் சாகசங்கள் பல அதீதமானவை

அது சரி இந்தியாவில் இது போன்ற சிறப்பு படைபிரிவுகள் இருகிறதா என்றால் ....

Shall I eat these fancy hospital biscuits?

[science thread]
Important vote 🍪🍪🍪
The packet tells me that each biscuit has 300kJ = kilo joules
Or 72kcal = kilo calories, ie 72,000 calories

But the box says "72 calories per biscuit"

So what's that about?
