You know, every time I see shit like this I hate the fact that I have ethics because it'd be so fucking easy to be a grifter.
Can you guess who authored this piece without looking at the byline? Who might not have any relevant expertise in nutrition, but would make it a habit of trying to hand it to RFKJ?

Dear prospective entomology retirees,
We have plenty of bench space in the UT insect collection, and a great deal of work that needs doing. Half of our volunteer workforce is already retired biologists, come join us! Retire!

“If you are a 75-year-old professor reading this, now would be a good time to take emeritus status. It’s something that a lot of people could do that would contribute enormously. The job market for young people would be in much better shape if most people over 75 retired.”
