Well I am extremely loyal to my alma mater and my current research group. I even feel some loyalty for a charity I used to work for. All three have certainly shaped my thinking because of the environment they produce. In academia, we actually are very loyal to who we used to work for because universities promote a…

Yes indeed - but what were the initial reviews and editors response? What edits were the authors asked to make and did the editor allow the paper to pass through unchanged - this is the kind of transparency I'm talking about. We can all critique the paper, but the process is clearly what is at fault here

I can't remember - what happened at the end?

Not to mention I would say those methods are written in a way that deliberately obscures what was done. I found it a difficult paper to wrap my head around the methodology and stats.

And apparently this new editor used to work for Monsanto. Now I support GM crops, but there is a lack of transparency here (hello there, peer review!). I'd like to see the reviewers comments on the paper - let's hear what their peers actually had to say about it.

Yeah I was wondering this too - I'm not familiar with that journal or field, but I can't believe a study so poor was accepted by reviewers (unless the reviewers had an agenda - you can suggest reviewers for your paper in many journals).

"How did you land this thing, Captain?"

That explains a lot actually.

Gale's an idealistic revolutionary - dude's getting ALL the tail! You can't tell me you don't think every woman who doesn't have crippling PTSD isn't all over him. Just not the women whose motivations he, um, builds special traps for, if you know what I mean.

Angry sex is good too . . . for some people . . . I hear . . . like someone told me once . . . not even like someone I know . . .

Well I just frantically googled 70kg to pounds . . .

No one will ever convince me that Peeta and Katniss weren't having 'glad we're alive' sex on that train. It's a time honoured sci fi trope damnit

Haymitch was in a Quarter Quell too where they reaped 4 tributes from each district instead of 2 so the games were particularly long and vicious. Haymitch wins by noticing the forcefield and throwing an axe at the forcefield where it rebounds and hits his competitor in the face.

Maybe because it's my least favourite of the Hunger Games trilogy, but I think this might be the best film adaptation of a book that I've ever seen. I can't at this moment think of another that I like better. I'm amazed they were able to do so much by staying so faithful.

Oh bless. Really?

It's always Gondor Calls For Aid for me

Hmm - I guess it makes sense. Protective (i.e. onion tears) have a specific function, whereas as emotional tears are just there to embarrass you at the cinema in front of your friends.

That's exactly what I said coming out of the cinema. He seems a great guy in interviews, someone who takes his job very seriously. They must have really pissed him off for him to still be holding a grudge.

There was an actual scream of frustration in the cinema when he didn't - and it wasn't me. The rest of us couldn't help but laugh.
