For more than sixty years, since Nagasaki in 1945, no nuclear weapons have been exploded in anger, despite several wars in which one side possessed nuclear weapons. The taboo is an asset to be preserved. New nuclear weapon states should recognize that the weapons have proven useful for deterrence; any other use will almost certainly bring universal opprobrium. Certain responsibilities will accrue to any new nuclear-weapon states: security against accident, sabotage, or unauthorized use. The United States was slow to recognize the need for such security, as it was slow to recognize the crucial importance of designing weapons safe from attack. Perhaps China, a mature nuclear-weapon state, is in a strong position to provide guidance to any nations contemplating nuclear weapons.
The uncertainties are great but so are the certainties. Venus and Mars show what too much, or too little, greenhouse gas can do to the possibility of life. Carbon dioxides ability to absorb infra-red radiation can be measured. But the analysis of how much warming, what changes in climate, what impact on agriculture, on health and comfort, how well different countries can adapt, is still in progress; too little is known to predict what concentration will be too much, so no global rationing scheme is likely. Certainly the worst climate impacts will be on the rural poor; economic development is an important defense. An ambitious program of research, development, and exploration for new economical energy sources and locations for carbon sequestration is urgently needed. The already-developed nations will have to provide financial and technological assistance to the less developed.

Experts on the IU Health Center Gender Affirming Care Team want to hear from you. But before you reach out, you can listen to them describe tips and resources for gender diverse people and allies. In this episode, Drs. Kel Thomas and Laura Knudson talk with host Emily Miles about how to navigate gender care amid a pandemic.
Dan K. Thomasson, a longtime Washington journalist and former vice president of Scripps Howard Newspapers, has covered many of the country’s defining moments and continues to write a syndicated column that examines current events ranging from immigration policy to the gun control debate to Google Glass.
At IU, the Shelbyville native studied education, was editor of the Indiana Daily Student, chairman of Little 500 and president of the IU Student Foundation. He also worked as a stringer for AP while in Bloomington. He graduated in 1960.
Thomasson first joined The Indianapolis Star, where he stayed until he was drafted. At Fort Sill, Okla., he edited the post newspaper and moonlighted as night news director for the Lawton (Oklahoma) ABC news affiliate and as a reporter for the Lawton Constitution.
His career took him to the Rocky Mountain News, where he was political editor, and, in 1964, newspaper owner Scripps Howard sent Thomasson to Washington, where he covered Sen. Edward Kennedy’s accident that killed a young campaign worker in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts, and broke the story of President John F. Kennedy’s affairs.
He covered Congress, presidential election campaigns and conventions as chief congressional correspondent for the chain. He was promoted to managing editor, then editor of Scripps Howard News Service and, by 1986, vice president for news. In 1996, he was named vice president of the organization.
Thomasson continued to report and write columns even as he rose through the ranks. He wrote about FBI actions at Waco and Ruby Ridge, and about the Atlanta and Oklahoma City bombings. Since his retirement in 1999, Thomasson writes a syndicated weekly column covering current topics.
When inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in 1997, Thomasson told the organization’s biographer that he is most proud of his 23 years with the Scripps Howard News Service. Under his leadership, the service expanded from an in-house operation to an international wire service with hundreds of clients.
Thomasson is a trustee at Franklin (Indiana) College and is a member of several journalism schools’ advisory boards, the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the Raymond Clapper Foundation, the Gridiron Club and the National Press Club. He was inducted into the Society of Professional Journalists’ Washington, D.C., chapter’s Hall of Fame in 1993 and the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in 1997.
Dr. Chalmer Thompson briefly discusses her research interests and goals. Her research focuses on how people interact with one another verbally and non-verbally, and on creative ways to reach children in resisting the negative manifestations of racism while simultaneously, advancing strategies that build their identities as sociopolitical beings. She also talks about the work she does abroad in Uganda and the work that she does locally in Indianapolis.
Racism is a devastation that exists in communities throughout the world. It thwarts societies from evolving into their potential as socially, economically and politically viable settings in which to live and thrive. Drawing from her work on racialized violence, Dr. Chalmer Thompson addresses how some scholars and practitioners perpetuate forms of systemic violence and she demonstrates how liberation-based psychology can help end oppression.

The late Robert E. Thompson, who attended Indiana University on the G.I. Bill after World War II, became a top political reporter who eventually rose through the ranks to excel in newspaper management.
Thompson came to Indiana from his hometown of Los Angeles to study journalism and stayed after earning his degree in 1949. His first job was as a reporter for the Fort Wayne (Indiana) Gazette.
In 1951, Thompson was hired by the International News Service, a wire service owned by the Hearst chain, to cover agriculture from Washington, D.C. By the time the 1956 presidential elections arrived, Thompson had changed his beat to politics, an area he had always wanted to cover. He reported on the presidential campaigns of Adlai Stevenson and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
INS merged with United Press in 1958, and Thompson was one of many who were laid off. Shortly after, however, Sen. John F. Kennedy asked Thompson to be the press secretary for his re-election campaign. Thompson quickly returned to the newspaper business, however, joining the Washington, D.C., bureau of the New York Daily News in 1959. He was assigned the White House beat and would eventually report on his former boss after Kennedy was elected president.
He returned to his hometown in 1962 for a four-year stint writing for the Los Angeles Times. Thompson then was named Washington bureau chief for Hearst Newspapers. He later served as Hearst’s national news editor, then publisher of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer before returning to his position as bureau chief in Washington. He would retain this title until his retirement in 1989.
Thompson’s involvement with the Kennedy family was a distinctive part of his career. He was on the scene for the coverage of President Kennedy’s assassination and witnessed Jack Ruby’s shooting of suspect Lee Harvey Oswald. He co-authored the book Robert Kennedy: The Brother Within, a biography about the late senator.
During his time at IU, Thompson served as editor-in-chief of the Indiana Daily Student and was active in student government. He returned to IU Journalism in the early 1970s as the Ernie Pyle lecturer. His weekly column for Hearst about his experience as a political reporter continued until a month before his death in 2003.

In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on using computational methods to study language change. These studies demonstrate good performance in automatically identifying the time of text writing (Popescu and Strapparava, 2015), tracing semantic change (Schlechtweg et al, 2020), and even discovering rules underlying language change (Hamilton et al., 2016). However, such studies are questioned for taking at face value (Hengchen et al., 2021), and models' performance in varieties of languages or genres remains unclear. Regarding Classical Chinese, we realize that there is a clear lack of open-access diachronic data, and the lexical change among different genres is seldom addressed in a computational way with large data. In this study, we approach the issue of how language changes across time and across genres by using classification tasks. Two types of texts: Chinese Biji and Buddhist texts are included. We firstly aim to examine how well language models (such as ngram, word2vec, transformers) can predict the written time of historical texts. Then, we are interested in what we can learn from the language models' prediction. We analyze the results we obtained and discuss the future direction.

Visualization is a potentially powerful tool for exploration and complexity reduction of categorical sequence data. This presentation discusses currently available sequence visualization against established criteria for graphical excellence in the visual display of quantitative information. Existing sequence graphs fall into two groups: they either represent categorical sequences or summarize them. We discuss in the presentation relative frequency sequence plots as an informative way of graphing sequence data and as a bridge between data representation graphs and data summarization graphs. The efficacy of the proposed plot is assessed by the R2 and the F-statistics. The applicability of the proposed graphs is demonstrated using data from the German Life History Study (GLHS) on women’s family formation. For the workshop please bring your laptop with R installed.

Together, Spencer & Rains have performed and taught nationally and internationally, preserving and building upon the traditions of their region. The husband-and-wife duo are known for their twin fiddle harmony, which is a product of the influence of midwestern Scandinavian fiddlers Tricia heard as a child. At the same time, Howard’s distinct repertoire reintroduces listeners to the pre-contest styles of Texas fiddling. That same sense of harmony is in their vocals, as well, which they pull from all manner of American folk music.

Lecture delivered by Bijal J. Trivedi (Senior Science Editor, National Geographic; freelance journalist). As recently as 2012, cystic fibrosis was considered a fatal genetic lung disease with most patients dying in their 20s, if not much earlier. But beginning in the 1950s, four couples, desperate to find treatments for their sick children, launched a foundation that would eventually use venture philanthropy to develop a radical type of life-saving personalized medicine that works for 90 percent of Cystic Fibrosis patients. Other disease foundations are striving to replicate the model and the NIH is using the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s strategy to accelerate cures for diseases, rare and common.

He described a second nearby spring, a period when the spring stopped running, and what the area looked like during the 1950s-60s. He talked about the practice of hunting and foraging in the surrounding woods. He also discussed how the spring and the surrounding land was impacted by drainage projects and Lake Sandy Jo.

Social connectivity structures and reinforces inequality in society but also provides a footprint of it. I will present two projects in which we analyze network structures to extract information about socioeconomic inequality. In the first project, we use correspondence analysis to infer Twitter users’ socioeconomic status from the accounts of commercial and entertainment brands in the US they follow. In the second project, we analyze SafeGraph data on physical store visits and co-visits in the US to investigate nuances of socioeconomic inequality in daily consumption. The projects demonstrate how we can both exploit and examine traces of economic and cultural consumption practices to understand an important manifestation of inequality in everyday life.
