The View of Science in "Don't Look Up"

 For my first "official" podcast of the new term, I commented on the way science and expertise were portrayed in Netflix's movie "Don't Look Up".  My thoughts were motivated by a review of the film on   CNN by Holly Thomas as well as Daniel Drezners' book, The Ideas Industry.

BTW- You can see Daniel Drezner talk about his book on YouTube

Informal Comments on The Proliferation of Aircraft Carriers

I posted a podcast while on break that stepped out of my normal academic boundaries to comment on the apparent proliferation of aircraft carriers. The though came to my mind when I saw this article on CNN about South Korea's design competition for a new carrier. This had me looking at other articles including

• Italian Aircraft Carrier ITS Cavour Departs Norfolk, Completing F-35B Certification
• U.K. Aircraft Carrier, Italian Navy Carrier Cross-Deck F-35Bs in Mediterranean
• Japan’s Helicopter Carrier JS Izumo To Start F-35B Tests

Since I was technically on break between terms I decided to indulge myself with a little amateur military analysis.
