Chuck DarwinA prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity 💥has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer, Indiana University, and had his homes raided by the FBI. ⚠️ No one knows why. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Xiaofeng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xiaofeng</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wang</a> has a long list of prestigious titles. He was the associate dean for research at Indiana University's Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, a fellow at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a tenured professor at Indiana University at Bloomington. According to his employer, he has served as principal investigator on research projects totaling nearly $23 million over his 21 years there.He has also co-authored scores of academic papers on a diverse range of research fields, including cryptography, systems security, and data privacy, including the protection of human genomic data. In recent weeks, Wang's email account, phone number, and profile page at the Luddy School were quietly erased by his employer. Over the same time, Indiana University also removed a profile for his wife, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Nianli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nianli</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ma</a>, who was listed as a Lead Systems Analyst and Programmer at the university's Library Technologies division🔥“None of this is in any way normal” Matthew Green, a professor specializing in cryptography at Johns Hopkins University, wrote on Mastodon. He continued: "Has anyone been in contact? I hear he’s been missing for two weeks and his students can’t reach him. How does this not get noticed for two weeks???"In the same thread, Matt Blaze, a McDevitt professor of computer science and law at Georgetown University, said: "It's hard to imagine what reason there could be for the university to scrub its website as if he never worked there. And while there's a process for removing tenured faculty, it takes more than an afternoon to do it."Local news outlets reported the agents spent several hours moving boxes in an out of the residences. <a href="https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/03/computer-scientist-goes-silent-after-fbi-raid-and-purging-from-university-website/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/03/computer-scientist-goes-silent-after-fbi-raid-and-purging-from-university-website/</a>

anlomedad<a href="https://fediscience.org/@micefearboggis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@micefearboggis</a> Ja, your footnotes are a special pleasure to be savoured. I always read your footnotes! 10 "...a riff on “everything has been done to global temperature, but not yet by everybody”. " 😁 But footnote 3 sounds like you're not interpreting Swansong as the very last and beautiful song sung by the expiring swan itself, but instead, as a song written and performed by someone – about the dying swan-eq 1.5°C. Matching Zeke's application of the expressions. While in the main text you use it correctly but doubt the veracity: " I’ve heard swans. It’s not a pretty sound, and I can’t imagine it gets any more compelling during their final throes. "Maybe the saying only ever used to be true for ancient Greek swans, due to what the regional climate did to a dying animal's vocal box. Today's dying Greek swans (let alone British ones) might not sound anything like the ones 2500 years ago, when the playwright put that particular line into his tragedy about Agamemnon . Hm. A substantial research body is about sonority of human language and climate zones , eg <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Wang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wang</a> et al 2023 <a href="https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/2/12/pgad384/7457938" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/2/12/pgad384/7457938</a> If our civilisation survives, research could be done around same-species' sounds in different climate zones. Oh. And one last thought on the last song by dying swans in Greece: Mythology has Zeus inseminate Helena's mother disguised as a swan. Imaginable that Zeus made a very godly sound when he "died in her arms" – a dying swan's last song. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan#Ancient_Greece_and_Rome" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan#Ancient_Greece_and_Rome</a>
