That was such a dreamy day.

Which is why I call him Stubby Drumpf.

That’s a fair assessment.

True, but I was thinking it made it easier in his own mind to do because they were women. Consciously or not. But I also agree with you in that this is all about patents and glory and money and very little to do with gender.

But do you think Doudna and Charpentier being women made it easier for Lander to dismiss their contributions?

Are your eggs just as beautiful? I would love to have chickens, but I’m just not in the right living situation yet.

That was me last year. It was awful and I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with it. A toxic work environment is the worst. In Jan last year, I started having panic attacks for the first time and I realized that I couldn’t stay at that job. I promised myself (even though I didn’t believe it) that I would leave by a…

It’s... trying to find the right word... it’s late and I’m tired, but I think it’s heart-warming? It’s good to know that there are services available to people like the…

You’re right, the current diagnostic tools aren’t great. One of the organisms I work with is Lyme and so my knowledge is only based on my coworkers’ and my own experiences. There’s no doubt in my mind that Lyme is present in other places in the US. There’s even a Lyme foundation in the Bay Area that receives a lot…

For a solid 20 seconds I thought it was supposed to be short for “twats” and I was so confused.

Well, you’ve also probably gotten more than one mosquito bite, but don’t have malaria. Not all ticks carry Lyme. It’s endemic to the eastern US. #notallticks sorry had to

Lyme disease is most common in the eastern US. Very low prevalence by comparison in the midwest/west.

His incorrect usage of semi colons is killing me.

I’m irrationally upset about the bread and potato thing. I just need an explanation!! IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
