A two-part lecture and discussion series that may be of interest to techsneerers:
This workshop is a two-part lecture and discussion series addressing urgent issues in space and how they relate to Earth. What does ethics mean in the context of space? Is it possible to explore space ethically? How do military interests drive Mars exploration? Led by multi-disciplinary researchers and organizers Dr. C. Adeene Denton and Dr. Divya M. Persaud, this series will provide an overview of how space is grounded in real-world oppression, colonialism, and genocide and a chance to discuss together how this could be changed.
Runs on January 11th and 12th.

Psychological assessments of her were made by a Danish-speaking psychologist. Kronvold, whose first language is Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic), is not fluent in Danish.
I think it happens often enough when someone rich and/or famous becomes disabled or has a disabled kid. See the whole world of alternative treatments for autism.
With a touch of, and maybe I’m being mean, “this particular bad thing shouldn’t happen to someone like me! it must be that no one else tried hard enough to fix it till now”
