Brentford might well be the most likeable team other than your regular one in the Premier League.

This amazing Saturday match against Liverpool adds significant support for your point about Brentford (of course, I'm thrilled as an Arsenal fan!)

It's such a joy to see both Enzos lose at #Chelsea - such unlikeable characters (starting with the Argentinian racist celebration and the excuses following).

If Google is a big sponsor of a ballroom, why isn't it called the Sundar Pichai ballroom? I mean, it will be so good for Indian Americans, no? (sorry, but not sorry)

Thanks - great points. I feel (with no statistical knowledge) that things are exponentially harder as one gets higher in the table (and outperforming expected returns stop helping close to the top). But point taken!

Ah yet, the table looks like below - so perhaps you are focusing on the wrong variables?

We will be trying to build cohorts across programs (@harvardoeb.bsky.social, Human Evolutionary Biology, @harvardmcb.bsky.social) via combined social events and possibly classes. Working on this as we speak.

Wow, this poem is absolutely wonderful - thanks for bringing it to (more) light!

Yeah, and even with my intense dislike for Newcastle, Woltemade seems so likeable!

For all the whining about Gyökeres not scoring goals, Isak has been so much worse - doesn't even add the hustle that Gyökeres brings. #arsenal #liverpool

Meanwhile, a newspaper of record (venerated for well over a century by the elite and the middlebrow) declaims thus:

Some sort of a brownian ratchet phenomenon that makes the anisotropic (long) shape of cumin seeds align themselves?

A minor miracle getting anything from NIH these days, especially in my institution - and yet, a grad student in our group gets an F31! Hannah's a star :-)

Induction of menstruation in mice reveals the regulation of menstrual shedding During menstruation, an inner layer of the endometrium is selectively shed, while an outer, progenitor-containing layer is preserved to support repeated regeneration. Progress in understanding this co...

We built the first transgenic model of menstruation in mice.
We used it to uncover how the endometrium organizes and sheds during menstruation. 🧪
