I love that these grants go to such an incredible variety of impressive folk—from music to astrophysics.

One of the works:

> In early work, El-Badry developed a method for identifying binary stars in spectrographic datasets. More than half of stars exist in binary systems, but they are often too close together to be differentiated with available technology. El-Badry overcame this challenge through targeted statistical analysis of existing spectral data.

Another

> Porras-Kim selected fragmented objects of unknown origins from the storage shelves of the Fowler Museum at UCLA, whose collections span the arts and cultures of Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Indigenous Americas. Her resulting installation, entitled Reconstructions, brought together the artifacts with drawings and sculptures that prompted viewers to consider how the textile fragments, pottery shards, and other orphaned objects functioned and came to be acquired by the museum.

Almost all copies of the critical biography of John MacArthur, "The Stockholder", have disappeared. The Library of Congress' one copy is stored offsite. The New York Public Library's copy is still available for on-site reading. But there's still a used paperback on Amazon for $149.

Now that's a successful cover-up.

You can get a fair condition used hardback for $65 or a good one for $83 on Abebooks.

It's a 55-year-old book about a businessman who was modestly famous in his lifetime and now is pretty much unknown. Was it some mega-hit at the time? If not, then <10K were ever printed. How many do you expect to still be floating around vs. being in landfill? How many people do you think are clamoring for a copy at their local library? FWIW, you can buy one on eBay right now for ~$15.

> a businessman who was modestly famous in his lifetime and now is pretty much unknown.

This is quite an understament about who John MacArthur was and what is impact and legacy has been. You're talking about a guy whose name appears in multiple US history textbooks.

I haven't read that biography, so I can't speak to it, but I wouldn't call him "pretty much unknown".

Destroying all copies of a critical biography is a recurring theme in the novel Trust.

They're both professors at the University of Wisconsin.

"As of March 2023, 20 Nobel laureates, 41 Pulitzer Prize winners, 2 Fields medalists, and 1 Turing Award recipient have been affiliated with UW–Madison as alumni, faculty, or researchers. It is also a leading producer of Fulbright Scholars and MacArthur Fellows." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Wisconsin–Madiso...

Just an observation, but I've noticed that the white people of "elite" distinction have a preponderance of unusual surnames. I have noticed this having grown up working class, then attending both an elite/non-elite universities and then working at both elite and non-elite employers. Given the hereditary nature of most white surnames, it's thought provoking to think that one's eliteness was predestined hundreds of years ago, even in a society such as ours.

Not sure what you mean here, but you know, you can change your last name if you want to. It's not uncommon to change your surname to a prestige name if you want.

I'm a fan of nominative determinism as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure what you're referring to, exactly? None of the surnames here strike me as particularly unusual.

One of my old math professors — Lauren Williams — got one! What a pleasant surprise. She was a delight to study under and an inspiration; I'm glad that she got recognized in an avenue like this.
