We already teach 24 per year at UWSP. Have since I started in 2013 and as far as I know, long before that.

2015. I will never understand why this wasn't the end of it.

I hate to be pedantic but my tax dollars paid for these data during many administrations, not just Biden's.

Didn't my tax dollars pay for this information? If so, and if Trump is going to make it unavailable, I'd like my money back. Otherwise put my data back where it belongs.

It's worth remembering that DEI initiatives are needed because racist white dudes kept hiring their white friends despite the fact that they were grossly unqualified for the job. DEI initiatives are an attempt to keep that from happening, not an attempt to give jobs to people who aren't qualified.

Sex in humans is not even binary. It's bimodal. And gender is equally if not more diverse. This is what happens when you have ignorant clowns running the circus.

When writing something like a dissertation it's hard to avoid ending up with a handful of sentences here and there that mimic those found in sources you use. But several dozen in 174 pages without proper citation? Seems a bit excessive.

Hard to come to terms with the reality that we do not live in the country many of us thought we lived in. It's heartbreaking.

This is all a distraction, much like the ridiculous Greenland thing, from the issues that really matter to Trump and his cronies. Please stop writing about it and feeding into it. There are way more important things to focus on right now.

I recall red No 2 being banned in 1976 (I was 7 but I remember the effect it had on M&Ms), so at this rate we will be banning No 4 in about 50 years

Red Dye #2 was banned in 1976. So at this rate we will be banning Red Dye #4 in about 50 years or so.
