Is AI a curse or a blessing for education?
Oped, Matthew Robert Ferguson, Published on 17/08/2024
» My collegiate rowing coach at the University of Western Ontario was an eccentric West German named Dr Volker Nolte, a stocky and imposing figure who was only funny when he didn't mean to be. He was a biomechanics wizard, obsessing over the countervailing forces of the rower and shell, currents and winds, blades and water. In the early 80s, as part of his doctoral research, he designed a sliding rigger that moved along the hull of the boat on slides in tandem with the rower, which, when compared to a fixed rigger, effectively doubled the force and propulsion of every stroke. It made second-tier rowers competitive with the best in the world.

Commitments of US navy mounting up
Oped, John J Metzler, Published on 11/11/2023
» In the American game of baseball, the defending team must cover all bases; first, second and third. No matter how good and fast a player is, one person "can't cover all bases," as the expression goes. Cover one, and the ball would be hit to another. You need three players to cover first, second and third base. The best and most competent player can't successfully cover all three dispersed bases. That's common sense.

Beat climate change with divestment
Oped, Zeb Larson, Published on 19/02/2022
» Environmental activist and writer Bill McKibben estimates that climate divestment -- the movement to pressure universities, churches, and other institutions to stop investing in, and thus profiting from, carbon-emitting companies -- has removed close to $15 trillion (482 trillion baht) from investments in polluting companies, marking a significant victory for Planet Earth.
