You might be less cranky if you had a bit of cheese.

Better than a meta-analysis would be a randomized, controlled prospective study of health effects of cheese consumption, but assigning healthy people to a no-cheese control group would be unethical.

Ever tried Shropshire blue? Highly recommend. 

Only an idiot (male or female) would work in a shop decorated with blow up dolls. How can you possibly think women want to have to fend off sexual advances from male coworkers at work? That they are “inviting” it if they try to ignore it in order to keep their job? That if a woman brushes off a pervy comment then…

Borax will not kill you if you touch it. It is commonly used in detergents.

Every generation sees itself at the center of history. What you say about boomers true. But boomers were disparaged and ridiculed by their elders, just as millenials are now by boomers. And 30 years from now young people will be ridiculing self-referential millenial nostalgia porn.  

Here is an archived list of predatory or potentially predatory journals https://beallslist.weebly.com/

I was joking. I should have made that clear.

Didn’t they have a hit in the early ‘80's called “I Want Candy”?

You can get on their journal’s editorial board too - that would be super fun ;)

Some of the most highly regarded journals are open access, and they may charge authors (or their institutions) for that publishing option, but yes, the predatory open-access journals without meaningful scientific review are right there too, and it is not easy for even an educated layperson to always recognize the…

It would significantly damage the reputation of a serious researcher to have their work published in a crap journal. But in some less developed parts of the world, a paper published in “The American Journal of Advanced Science, Technology, Medicine, Research, and Higher Education” can sound like the real deal.…

^ all the stars. It’s just infuriating these guys act like it’s all so confusing and unfair to them, the true victims.

Well, you have to admit “haldi dood” might not fly off the grocery store shelves....

There have been “stings” that have caught predatory journal publishing absolute gibberish, but that doesn’t stop them.

There are thousands of medical journals out there, and some of them will publish just about anything for money. Experts in their fields know which ones are high quality with rigorous peer review, and which are not. “Published” and “peer-reviewed” mean nothing in itself as there is no regulation of what is an…

I think we agree more than disagree. But public companies do have policies in place for using external law firms to investigate written complaints of sexual harassment, so I would argue that the model is well established. The problem is that (as with Vice) HR/management actively discourages or even prevents the…

Yeah, starting 4 weeks ago at Vice Media. After burying complaints for years. I’m sure the timing had nothing to do with Weinstein et al.

You fizzled out quick, didn’t you. Best go back to Breitbart.
