Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition, but then again no one could have predicted the giraffe, the iPhone or JD Vance. The laws of physics don't demand them; they all just evolved, expressions of how (for better or worse) things happened to turn out. Ecologist Mark Vellend's thesis is that to understand the world, physics and evolution are the only two things you need. Evolution, here, refers in the most general sense to outcomes that depend on what has gone before.

Mission Science Workshop is a non-profit community science center in San Francisco that offers hands-on science activities for youth and families, encouraging exploration and learning.

It made science very lonely for a while, and I feel like one of the great benefits of working in science, at academic centers, is the collaborative nature of it.
