The winner of the #DNC chair race will help shape the message and priorities of the Democratic party,
giving them a crucial role in the party’s efforts to win back the House of Representatives in 2026.

The race has attracted a large field of candidates

Two state party chairs
– #Ken #Martin of Minnesota
and #Ben #Wikler of Wisconsin
– have emerged as "frontrunners"

The chair candidates have grown punchier as the race draws to a close,
-- and the late entry of #Faiz #Shakir,
who ran #Bernie #Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign,
has injected new energy into the race.

All of the candidates seem to agree that the Democratic party needs to move in a new direction after their 2024 losses, expanding its outreach to the working-class Americans who have lurched to the right in recent years and finding more effective means of communicating their values to voters.

But the candidates have squabbled over the best strategies and prioritization of those goals,
in a display that Shakir said showed a
“lack of ambition and a sense of powerlessness about what the DNC could potentially do”.

Report: "Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, has called for Gaza to be emptied of Palestinians & said it was possible for Israel to resettle the Palestinian territory.

"In 2007, Ben-Gvir was convicted of incitement to racism, destroying property, possessing a “terror” organisation’s propaganda material & supporting a “terror” organisation – Meir Kahane’s outlawed Kach group."

Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Arieh #Ben-#Naim: "Demystifying #entropy"

Information about the person and his scientific work

In another installment of our "Zoomposium series" on the topic of "Physics and its limits", my colleague Axel Stöcker from the "Blog of Big Questions" and I had the opportunity to conduct an interview with the renowned Israeli physical chemist Prof. Dr. Arieh Ben-Naim on the exciting topic of "Demystifying entropy".

Arieh, who was born on July 11, 1934, held a chair in physical chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for over 40 years, with his main field of research being the theory of the structure of water, aqueous solutions and hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions. He has been mainly concerned with theoretical and experimental aspects of the general theory of liquids and solutions. In recent years, he has advocated the use of information theory to better understand and advance statistical mechanics and #thermodynamics.

In this context, he has also worked intensively on the question of the nature and underlying principle of the phenomenon of "entropy", which he has published in numerous popular science books that are often quoted but also controversially discussed.

The basic tenor of all his publications and lectures is that we need a new basic understanding of the phenomenon of entropy. In Arieh's view, entropy, which originally stems from the laws of thermodynamics and in particular the second law of thermodynamics, has been misused and incorrectly applied as a concept to other areas of physics, biology and everyday life.

In this respect, it was finally time (bon mot) to ask the author himself about his ground-breaking theses, which cast a different light on the phenomenon of entropy or, perhaps better said, bring entropy back to its place of origin.

The interview we conducted with him is in English.
