  2. Merit is a central pillar of liberal epistemology, humanism, and democracy. The scientific enterprise, built on merit, has proven effective in generating scientific and technological advances, reducing suffering, narrowing social gaps, and improving the quality of life globally. This perspective documents the ongoing attempts to undermine the core principles of liberal epistemology and to replace merit with non-scientific, politically motivated criteria. We explain the philosophical origins of this conflict, document the intrusion of ideology into our scientific institutions, discuss the perils of abandoning merit, and offer an alternative, human-centered approach to address existing social inequalities.

  4. The 116,118,120,122,124In nuclei have been popu- lated as fission fragments in reactions induced by heavy ions. Level schemes have been built from γ-rays detected using the Gammasphere array. Medium-spin states of 118,120In69,71 nuclei have been identified for the first time, while the level schemes of 116,122,124In67,73,75 were enriched. The observed states at lower excitations and at medium spin can be described by the coupling of the proton g9/2 hole to the neutron or neutron-hole in the h11/2 orbital. This coupling can now be followed in all odd-odd In isotopes from 104In to 126In
