Most ppl know me for work in science & policy, but in college, my other major was classical #history & literature.I view the present moment through this lens, understanding that the world map has always been dynamic. Borders shift, empires rise and fall, societies transform. Only by studying the humanities - the disciplines so many ppl in power now regularly dismiss - can we hope to learn from the past & chart a more hopeful future.

We don’t need to choose between analytical rigor and historical perspective. They should be integrated.In this age of rapid technological change and geopolitical uncertainty, understanding the human story across time and geography will continue to be essential. /2
