Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

EM doctor: I don’t care which one of you but one of you needs to admit the cup.

I am fascinated. I could never but I guess if no one else is, maybe I could. But wow.

If you can separate you the one with the disease and you the researcher, good; this is clearly a personal decision.

Adults in sex work is very different from people (esp minors) in sex trafficking. Consent for one.

Fascinating, do a lot of rheums have rheum? Disclosure: I have rheum.

Tamale lady.

But as a person with a chronic illness, I want *all* the studies to work. So I couldn’t be unbiased.

Yes.

FIFTY CENTS IN ONE WEEK. This is 9/11 and Gulf War numbers. But worse because I’m the one paying for gas. (9/11 was med school in a city, Gulf War was elementary)

You want the best data for your disease. Can you be unbiased?

I have given up cleaning (Husband or kids) and would love to give up planning OR AT LEAST point me in a direction - protein, cuisine, something!!

Feel like parenting was sold to me as more time joyfully throwing leaves at one another & in the air, and less time planning, purchasing, prepping, cooking, & cleaning up at least three meals per day every single day.

Son16: I really like this song *plays song*
Me or Husband: that samples this other song *plays other song*
Son16: that’s my favorite song by that artist

We’ve done this many times. Sometimes he already knows which song is sampled.

They were something together. What it was made good tv but you couldn’t say what it was.

Looks like Lou Holtz's dream came true

An immature Lophiomys imhausi displaying specialized hairs and warning coloration (A) and the same individual (center) with an adult male (top right), and female (top left), from the same trap location. The juvenile is being groomed by the male (B). FROM: J Mammal. 2020 Nov 17;101(6):1680–1691. "The secret social lives of African crested rats, Lophiomys imhausi"

The African crested rat (Lophiomys imhausi) is a rabbit-sized rodent with patterned coat.

They have no natural predators which puzzled scientists because they don't display obvious deterrents to large African predators.

That's when studies found they were packing enough poison to kill an elephant.

Even the FOX NEWS medical contributor is calling out this bullshit.

The first rule of science club is:
TELL EVERYONE ABOUT SCIENCE CLUB! There's safety in numbers.

There have been MULTIPLE early leaks of scientific discoveries via DECORATED CAKE. Scientists are good at many things, but shutting up is definitely not one of them.

I tell people that if the government is covering up the existence of aliens, NASA is absolutely not involved, because astrobiologists can't keep a secret to save their lives

Interesting read. Thank you.

How does Trump nominee Casey Means compare to previous surgeons general? Healthbeat reviewed the credentials of the 10 surgeons general confirmed since 1976. Here's how Trump nominee Casey Means stacks up.

Ketchup, mayo, peanut butter, laundry detergent, tissues, toilet paper, and cat food and litter (cats’ choice) are my big ones for brand loyalty.

This pic made me sad. And hungry.

I was going to say Both but clearly your PhD is in chemistry of some sort

Have you ever asked a PhD what their PhD was about and asked one additional question? They light up like little kids on their birthday full of cake.
