 to tell a story, with all the drama and plot-twists of a good page-turner. This is solid advise for good writing, one that we shouldn’t restrict to writing about science but also for writing the articles that are science. That would make reading and writing as a scientist (two of our biggest activities) much less boring. Yet we don’t do this. More importantly, we put up with reading hundreds of poorly written, boring papers.
So if scientists put up with awful writing, why do we have to write better for the public? I think that the answer to this reveals something very important the role of science in society; who science serves and who it doesn’t. This affects how we should be thinking about activities like ‘science outreach’.
In this post, I want to put together some thoughts that have been going through my mind on funding, science and society. These are mostly half-baked and I am eager to be corrected. More importantly, I am hoping that this encourages you, dear reader, to share any thoughts that this discussion sparks.

On this week’s show Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones — as you might expect. Some of these topics include the “sequel” to the classic Sword & the Sorcerer, Star Wars Episode VII casting rumors and what is now considered “canon”for the series, George Lucas himself, Justice League and Man of Steel 2 casting and potential storylines, the nature of the movie business and a whole lot more. As usual, you can’t handle all the more!
This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the Lightroom app from Adobe and Joe’s pick of the ComiXology app for Android.
I’m no storm expert anymore but I used to play him a lot 3-4 years ago, and his playstyle hasn’t changed too much. (Maybe the shard?)

You can get technical tipps and itembuilds from Tsunamis hero guides, or by watching replays. I’m not gonna go into those.  If mid is not a realistic kill, then move to a sidelane. Don’t TP from mid, try to walk. TP’ing is generally better from fountain than from anywhere else because the fountain regen lingers for a bit, so your initial zip is free.
- between your level 6 and your first big item, depending on your carry, either you are the true carry and need to be the one farming, in which case - ignore fights and go from lane to jungle camps and use your mana to spam remnant and farm faster. Or you are the spacemaker, on which case you should try and roam around the enemy side of the map, ideally with a gank squad, take away their farm, force reactions etc. Don’t be afraid if you die, as long as your true carry is getting big.
- When farming a lane, you can escape from any gank, that doesn’t have a silence or an instant stun. Try and stay away from lanes when you look at the map and you don’t see the enemy hero that has either of those.
- the later the game goes, the more your #1 question is: what is my role this game? Usually it is to zip on an enemy support like a Warlock and make the fight 4v5 right from the get go. Or pick off their mid if he is a squishy, like a Zeus maybe.
- manage your mana carefully. Never empty your tank entirely unless the fight is already won.
- always keep a list in your head of how you could die. Plan ahead when to react with which defensive item. (Example: enemy has venge, try to keep watch of the magic missile, and bkb only when you hear the sound queue)
- Aegis on storm: He is the best Aegis carrier in the game, but he is not a highground sieger. It’s way too easy to poke at him and get him low HP and he barely damages the tower. So it’s a bit of a trap. If you get rosh and the next thing you do is go HG, maybe aegis on your luna is better.
- when you go HG try and place remnants near the walls, they give flying vision.
- don’t zip into the base just to get a kill on someone who has buyback.  If you still do that, target heroes without buyback.
- again: sieging highground is not your job. Stay back, and wait for a good counter initiate. You can even put your linkens on the sieger. 
- if your lineup is not made for sieging, well then you need to win a fight near their base first. In which case you need good vision. You can plant wards as well if your supports can’t.Our experience suggests recent digital developments in India around Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, Mobile (JAM), India Stack, direct benefit transfer, payment interoperability, among others, have been relevant to many African and Asian countries. There has been tremendous interest from other countries to learn from India’s achievements, and several countries have replicated some of the lessons from India.
With this backdrop, MSC is keen to explore the challenges in PFM for the African countries and explore if there is a potential to replicate some of the lessons from our projects with Indian governments to other countries. This will help assess the fitment and relevance of the tools and knowledge products produced by our projects for Africa and also enable us to adjust our approach, if feasible, to ensure that the products generated are relevant across several countries beyond India. Through this study, MSC will get some inputs to shape its PFM and state capacity work-related strategy for Africa.On the other hand, CSUs are doing the same job with fewer people.
Your editorial indicating that the UC system has three times as many administrators as the CSU system brought back memories.
My first management position at Cal State Los Angeles in 1968 was as director of the placement office. Including myself, I had 12 employees serving about 24,000 students.
Because I was frustrated with the staffing, I checked to see how many employees were doing the exact same job at UCLA, with about 15 percent more students. The answer was 48.
I retired in 2007 after managing at three different CSU campuses as well as two stints managing programs across the system from the chancellor’s office. Administrators have been proliferating in both systems, but the University of California is in a class by itself.
