He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Asimov was a long-time member and Vice President of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs" He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association.

Anyone with an acquaintance or family member who is a teacher has undoubtedly heard horror stories about the educational state in which this country now finds itself.
For one thing, it is common to hear a teacher who has been doing lessons online complain that a large percentage of his or her students — anywhere from a third to a half and in some cases far greater — have simply not participated at all. And this is true in both affluent and non-affluent districts alike. There is also the question of whether work being submitted online was actually done by the student or someone else — but that is a whole different issue.
And while Zoom has allowed the creation of at least a semblance of an actual classroom, the give-and-take and the personal relationships among students and between students and teachers is glaringly absent. But from anecdotal evidence gathered from across the country, some parents are either unable or unwilling to take on that responsibility — and the results will be dire: Potentially millions of students will be promoted to the next educational level without having the requisite knowledge or skills.
