Had a wonderful time chatting with CBC Radio’s Ideas @cbcideas about neutrinos and childlike wonder at Cornell Broadcast Studios yesterday! Cornellians, take advantage of the Studios for your audio and video media interviews, I wish I had sooner! @MITKidsPress

Congratulations to IDEAS producer, Philip Coulter for receiving an @RTDNA_Canada Lifetime Achievement Award.
Longtime listeners will be familiar with his name on @cbcradio. He has also produced the Massey Lectures since the mid-90s.
Well-deserved!!!

I’m also pretty sure that my interview w/ @_TomHowell was the first time in history anybody ever publicly identified as a “@JamesMoore_org Conservative”. New political identity just dropped

The popular idiom ‘beyond the pale’ literally means 'beyond the boundary fence.' Is there a fair way to build and maintain that fence in today’s political climate?
Producer @_TomHowell finds out how people are placing their private ‘pales’ these days.

My segment starts right at the 30min mark. Listen to me run through:
- J.K. Rowling (TERF)
- Donald J. Tr*mp (Islamophobe)
- Jordan B. Peterson (where to begin)
- Majorie Taylor Greene (anti-vaxxer)
- J.D. Vance (1/6 minimizer)
- Anyone who's ever called an educator a "gr**mer"
In part three of our series on #bias, @_TomHowell probes the line between reasonable and unacceptable in this episode called Beyond the Pale.

Some amazing women I know organize this fundraiser to support the re-uniting of two threatened Afghan refugees. Nina finished an engineering degree as just one of few Afghan women just before the Taliban threatened her.
