Avram Noam Chomsky is an American professor known for his traditional work in linguistics and political activism. Sometimes called “the father of modern linguistics”, Chomsky is also one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and an professor emeritus at MIT.

And so, modern linguists today approach their work with scientific rigor and perspective [STEM], although they use methods that were once thought to be solely an academic discipline of the humanities.

Contrary to this humanitarian belief, according to Professor Mackenzie Hope Marcinko PhD of the University of Delaware, linguistics is now multidisciplinary. It overlaps each of the human sciences including psychology, neurology, anthropology, and sociology. Linguists conduct formal studies of sound structure, grammar and meaning, but also investigate the history of language families, and research language acquisition.

DENTAL Care “Deserts”

Posted on March 28, 2025 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Dental care in America divides people into two camps: those who can afford regular preventive care and cleanings, and those who can’t.

These so-called dental deserts contribute to a deep disparity in overall health. People who live in these places are more likely to get tooth decay and develop severe health problems. They also spend more money on care, and more time seeking health assistance in an emergency.

Stat: 25 million. That’s how many US residents live in areas without enough dentists, according to a recent Harvard University study.

A growing movement against fluoride is adding to the risk of tooth decay in these “dental deserts.” (NPR)

PHYSICIAN NET WORTH: Versus Average Family

Average Net Worth of an American Family

Both median and average family net worth surged between 2019 and 2022, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Average net worth increased by 23% to $1,063,700, the Fed reported in October 2023, the most recent year it published the data. Median net worth, on the other hand, rose 37% over that same period to $192,900.

You might wonder why the average and median net worth figures are so different. That’s because when you take the average of something, you add together every value in a data set and then divide that figure by the number of individual values.

When calculating a median, you simply look at the middle figure within a data set. That said, an average figure can be significantly higher or lower than a median figure if there are extreme outliers – meaning a group of people with significantly more net worth than the rest of the group can bring the average higher.

Average Net Worth by Age

The average net worth of someone younger than 35 years old is $183,500, as of 2022. From there, average net worth steadily rises within each age bracket. Between 35 to 44, the average net worth is $549,600, while between 45 and 54, that number increases to $975,800. Average net worth surges above the $1 million mark between 55 to 64, reaching $1,566,900.

Average net worth again rises for those ages 65 to 74, to $1,794,600, before falling to $1,624,100 for the 75 and older group. The median net worth within every single age bracket, however, is much lower than the average net worth.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce 10,000 employees will be cut, the Wall Street Journal reported today—the latest round of layoffs in the Trump administration’s push to slash the size of the federal workforce.

US stocks slid lower on Thursday after President Trump pushed ahead with hefty new tariffs on auto imports, stoking concerns about a potential full-on trade war and global economic harm. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell just over 0.3% on the heels of a losing day for the major gauges. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite (^IXIC) led the losses, falling more than 0.5%.
