The Excruciating, Impossible Science of Airport Delays examines the intricate network effects that cause flight delays to cascade through our air traffic system, a complexity that remains a challenge for scientists to fully understand. Meanwhile, DNA Dating App Pheramor proposes a novel approach to finding love by matching partners based on genetic compatibility, though the science behind it is questioned. Lastly, the influence of wealthy donors like Epstein on institutions such as MIT’s Media Lab, Harvard, and Stanford raises concerns about how philanthropy can both support innovation and potentially skew scientific priorities.
