That's exactly what I said in my comment, wow good job.

PhD biologist, actually. I'm going to give you some info without giving too much, since the exact details of my position are really unique, though the position itself is not. I finished up my PhD a few years back, working with a variety of questions, many relating to 'big data' and extracting biologically meaningful…

The language in the paper is very descriptive to the specific sample, and didn't seem to imply an undue level of conclusiveness. What passages did you find innappropriate?

I mean, I don't disagree that the headline isn't great, but I think the author does a pretty good job of qualifying the results in the text.

I agree. Previous research supports this. I would like to hear results from an expanded survey.

I don't really know what you want me to say to that. Shut down the universities and let's all go home?

It's gotten pretty wild. I've transitioned off the tenure track and mostly work in 'data science' and, particularly, research planning and helping researchers figure out what data they need to apply for funding, how to store it, how to analyze it, planning computational training for grad students, etc. A lot of…

The 'blah blah study size' comments always bug the shit out of me. Yes, many studies need more participants to work. But our funding in the sciences is so fucked up that you basically have to have done the work or be expanding on really firm ground to get funding. If only every armchair statistician dropped a line to…

You're still replying to infundibulum, dummy.

Um, from your post, it looks like you're the one stewing in hate.

I'm not going to suggest that you're lying, but you have an extreme situation. In my decade as a TA and instructor of record at 4 schools (3 of which were in the top five largest in the US), I've never had more than five of three hundred students request accommodations.

Eh, we've all got a little bit of holiday fatigue. Particularly where it pertains to people getting cookies for not really doing much other than being reasonable humans.

I think you're being a little overly-critical, but the replies you're receiving are absurd. This isn't a revolutionary gesture, and it's not some sort of secret that girls are more encouraged to enjoy masculine-coded pursuits (because those are the default in our society) than boys are encouraged to enjoy…

Me too. Seems like a lesson mom and dad could really use.

But they're not emphasizing community building. They're still calling it 'Cancelled Christmas'. They're emphasizing to their kids that getting stuff is the point and that serving their comunity is a second-rate punishment.

This fuck just wants to whine at POC to tell her how to fix injustice. On week old threads. During Christmas. So she can feel squeaky clean about being too dumb to see anything that can be done in her own life to level the playing field. Puh-thetic.

So then stop spamming week old threads on message boards and do some good.

I think there's been kind of an ettiquette collapse in terms of casual events in the digital age. I've been invited to a couple baby showers and bachelorette parties that had really quick turn arounds for the fact that they were asking for a contribution to the bride's lingerie fund or a baby gift. If I were a…

Close enough to be excited, far enough to not to realize that a wedding is an event that requires planning? We had a line like '__of 2 invitees will be attending'. Which should be clear that there are only two invited people. We also had a list of entrees, with blanks to write in how many of each were required. So if…

I have no idea when it became common to bring a whole crowd. On my wedding invites, I had '__ of 2 invitees will be attending' or something to that effect. Other than one hiccup, it wasn't an issue. Works well, too, because the kids thing can be confusing.
