Happy birthday to Avery Brooks, who played Captain Benjamin Sisko on DS9. Cool fact: Brooks directed nine episodes of the series, including "Far Beyond the Stars", an episode focusing on racial injustice.

In the Harvard Grant Study, the world’s longest running and most comprehensive psychological study, the five most mature, healthy defense mechanisms associated with higher life satisfaction were:
1. Altruism: focusing on others’ wellbeing
2. Humor: making light of difficult or stressful events or experiences
3. Sublimation: turning anger or frustration into productive energy
4. Anticipation: maintaining a realistic view of the future and its difficulties
5. Suppression: consciously suppressing unproductive and distressing thoughts

Luger et al. are back with another outrageously good paper. They show that if you can measure the star light reflected by an exoplanet to extreme precision over a long period, then you can map the surface! arxiv.org/abs/2103.06275

The most powerful privilege folks have is not having to question or worry about the things that happen to them are due to their race, gender, or identity.”
