Every Brit scientist I know who’s worked over here says scientists are treated better in the US: better pay, more prestige. Prestige is hard to measure, but average pay for postdocs is about 20% better in the US than the UK.

Nope: they are closed on all sides and the dough baking and interior cooking happen simultaneously.

Definitely. Gyoza don’t involve bread or even a bread-like substance, a necessary start for anything you wish to call a “sandwich”, and are always closed: the starchy substance goes all the way around the filling, sealing it up and precluding sandwichness. Pirozhki are also often closed on all sides, and when they’re…

Don’t you know? There’s no replacement for displacement.

I was mostly joking, but it’s a pretty miserable existence. And I’m lucky: I’ve had good supervisors & projects with lots of resources and steady funding.

Pizza is only a sandwich if you put two slices topping side in and eat them together like that.

I’m a physics postdoc, at a pretty prestigious place. It is a necessary step if you want to continue in research. It is also a miserable existence, and I would not wish it on anyone I did not actively dislike.

My cousin and her (now) husband said “no gifts” and said anyone so inclined should donate to help out with their cross-country motorcycle trip. She is much cooler than I am.

I usually get my friends booze.

You’re congratulating someone on getting a postdoc? That’s just cruel.

 I wish the March for Science participants weren’t treating it like some kind of joke.

It’s almost like the senior WH advisor is a man who’s described his goal as the destruction of the current governing system.

I hope it never even comes up.

But Diesel will still be around in Semi’s, equipment and large pickups for a long time.... they are still unmatched as a durable high torque power plant for demanding jobs

Lithium is expensive enough that rechargable Li-ion batteries are already recycled far more widely than non-rechargables. If cars end up battery powered, that will just happen en masse.

The V6 Mustang is no slouch. I remember about 10 years ago, it was a big deal that the GT was 300hp.

Same car?

Like all great artists, you are unappreciated in your own time.

Chinese is even harder because it’s not even phonetic like say, Korean.
