Fifth-Generation Farmer Revives a Family TraditionLarry Banowetz has raised pigs on his family farm in eastern Iowa for 45 years. But the hog industry, or pork industry as it’s now referred to as, has changed dramatically over that time. Larry says that in the United States, it is almost impossible to have a profitable small business as an independent pork producer.“On the commercial market, you just kept losing outlets to sell your pigs,” says Larry. “In the last 10 or 15 years, the number of outlets for the commercial producer to sell their pigs dramatically dropped.

In 2018, Caleb took over the family’s hog farming work, becoming a fifth-generation Banowetz farmer as a junior in high school. He remembers facing the same hurdles his father warned him about.“The market selling commercially small-scale was...

The Cowardice of Elite
The Cowardice of ElitesAt elite universities like Columbia and Stanford, student publications are starting to retract articles and anonymize authors, in particular those pieces “critical of Israel or Trump.” According to The Guardian, many writers are asking to have their work unpublished or leaving publications for “fear that their association with certain articles could jeopardize their safety or future career prospects.” Most takedown requests are coming from international students, but they “are coming from US citizens, too.” I have sympathy for the international students. The threat to them is real. A Turkish student at Tufts University, Rümeysa Öztürk, was recently seized and whisked to a prison (“detention facility”) in Louisiana because she co-authored an op-ed criticizing the university’s response to student demands around Israel-Palestine. Every international student in the country is at serious risk. The Trump administration has been open about the fact that it doesn’t believe in due process,...

His latest book is The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Quanta and Fields. In this interview, Carroll explains how our understanding of the world around us has developed over time, how much stranger the world is than our "commonsense" perceptions of it would indicate, and how laypeople with no background in the physical sciences can begin to grasp and appreciate the deepest hidden truths about the Universe. Carroll is an eloquent spokesperson for the view that a godless universe can still be a poetic and beautiful one and that there may be more connections between the political and the physical than first appears.Nathan J.
