Yeah, technically that's true for me too. But realistically, how often is my weekly to-do list completable in 40 hours or less? Not often. Especially not at this stage in my career.

Late 2000. My little brother wanted a phone, and I'd just turned 18, and could sign a contract, so we both got phones.

Vacation days are usually "Oh hey, I can work on my research!" days. And I could do a lot at home, but I'm not very productive at home, so I spend a lot of time in the office.

Academia.

It would be a really good cut for me too! The coverage + the color blocking from the blazer = no cleavage accidents AND no "wall of boob". I can't lose.

I want everything about this look. Right now. Must steal for next year's interview season.

I....have pretty much given up. I can't even get noticed to get yelled at over there (and that's not for lack of trying).

This this this this this. The first time I ended up shaking on the bathroom floor after skipping a meal was the last time I deliberately skipped one.

Precisely — I couldn't make complicated business decisions, or tease out the societal implications of a series of historical events, or deeply understand literature (as much as I want to!). I don't have the right type of mind, or the training for it. But people are still people, and prone to the problems and evils…

I fully agree — that belief is equally disturbing. I can only speak for myself here, but I'm sure as hell not smarter (or purer, or anything) than anyone else. I'm just a particular breed of nerd.

I don't actually drink that much. I'm really only talking about a cup a day or so, but dammit, I really need that cup.

1) I know. :P

Didn't say I wasn't evil ;)

Most scientists aren't like that, thanks.

Granted. I am agreed that people should blindly trust no one. If we could get the world to that point, I would be a happy person. It would mean a scientifically literate population that understands the nature of the scientific process, and what results and statistics actually mean.

I'm not waiting for my coffee. I'm not functional until I have my caffeine.

We as a people inherently trust science and that means we believe scientists. If you really want to do evil, your best bet is to look like someone we all trust. You'll have us eating out of your hands in no time.

Oh Kinja. So very maddening.

Oh weird, I hadn't even noticed that. o.O

I still actually use my grad school email address this way. I still have collaborators using that address.
