A tweet from Yoav Gilad, of hiring-Jason-Lieb fame, which says: "I have wanted so much to stay out of it. I have not posted anything since October 7th. The emotions are too high; it is difficult - for me - to see clearly. But this is wrong. I hated what Mike posted but I support Mike. He should not be replaced as EIC over this."

The only person who I've seen disagree with eLife's decision despite also disagreeing with Eisen's tweet is...the University of Chicago guy who hired a sex pest under the sketchiest circumstances imaginable.

I really don't know what to say other than to repeat that there is no hope.

They only ask you for three letters. You have the option to include two backup letter writers in case one or two of your top choices have some kind of emergency.

When I applied for the GRFP, my soon-to-be mentor asked me to add his name as my #4 choice. He submitted a letter for me a week before the deadline, in case one of my top 3 choices messed up the submission process or had a personal emergency. No one was dishonest, no one got duped.

“2 autonomous Cruise vehicles & an empty San Francisco police vehicle were blocking the only exits from the scene, according to one of the reports, forcing the ambulance to wait while first responders attempted to manually move the Cruise vehicles or locate an officer who could move the police car.”

The Offspring in their prime

A funny thing that everyone missed in the chaos of Covid waves was The Offspring firing their drummer because he was anti-vax and the lead guy is a PhD in Molecular Biology and didn’t have time for that shit and then the drummer ended up joining Tim Pool’s midlife crisis band

Executives want workers back in the office so badly because 50 year old VP's want to sexually harass their junior employees

Just as Tariq bin Ziyad burned his ships after landing the Muslim invasion force in Spain, I throw out the lid after opening a pint of ice cream

Henrietta Lacks’ family reaches historic settlement for her stolen cells The success of the legal strategy increases the likelihood that this becomes the first in a series of complaints seeking compensation for, and control of, Lacks’ cells.

Big: Henrietta Lacks’ living relatives reached a historic settlement with the multi-billion-dollar biotech company accused of stealing her cells without her consent

Her “HeLa” cells were the world’s first capable of replicating outside the body

this is the big bang theory in a nutshell. an entire hit tv series about racist and sexist humor that gets a pass because they're nerds

the most annoying thing is how they think playing by the rules is a viable strategy for defeating cheaters
