US SCIENTISTS


flock to France


When Trump announced that the US was
pulling out of the Paris Agreement, French
President Macron ‘did a Donald’ and hit social
media, calling on any US scientists concerned
about the political climate as well as global
warming to come to France and “Make our
planet great again.” Two years on, he’s made
good on his offer, announcing that 13 US
laureates, of the hundreds who applied, have
received research grants and support. “For me,
the chance to work on some exciting science
questions with my French colleagues and not be
so dependent on the crazy stuff that goes on in
Congress and with the current administration is
honestly very attractive,” Louis Derry, a leading
professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
at Cornell University, said in an interview. “But
it can be embarrassing to try and explain what
is going on at home right now.”

TOOLS OF TITANS
The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of
Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class
Performers by Timothy Ferriss.
Through his podcast, The Tim Ferriss
Show, Tim has conducted in-depth
interviews with some of the most
powerful and successful people on
the planet. To save hours of listening,
he has distilled the best advice he
heard and turned it into this book.

“Everything within these pages has been
vetted, explored, and applied to my own life
in one fashion or another. I’ve used dozens of
the tactics and philosophies in high-stakes
negotiations, high-risk environments, or large
business dealings. The lessons have made me
millions of dollars and saved me years of wasted
effort and frustration,” he says.
“I created this book, my ultimate notebook of
high-leverage tools, for myself. It’s changed my life,
and I hope the same for you.”
