11 years after 9/11, I wrote about how we had to accept that "never again" was a futile standard in a world with so many harms. Today, 11 years on, I now realize that that essay @ForeignPolicy would guide how I came to think about risk and failing safer. foreignpolicy.com/2012/09/11…

Never Say 'Never Again'

Our foolish obsession with stopping the next attack.

The US can't afford to cut off cooperative activities with China by letting the US-China Science and Technology Agreement (STA) lapse, says our Co-Director John Holdren in @thewirechina.
"Expertise and capability in science and technology are now globalized. There is no one country that is, or can be, first in everything all by themselves. And in that sort of world, the arguments in favor of collaboration are even stronger than they were when the collaboration was more a matter of assistance." - John Holdren, Co-Director, Science, Technology & Public Policy Program.
