What there should be is a *single* place where one deposits a standard letter for all students. This would be much more scalable and sustainable.
Who is for abolishing grad app letters of rec at the point of application? Would it be so bad if letters were requested AFTER candidates were shortlisted? If we do this at UCSD who will join us?

Ever had the sudden urge to taste something in the lab?

Now you can! (For legal reasons: you can't)

FART (Flavor Analysis and Recognition Transformer) is the first machine learning model to simultaneously predict four taste classes – sweet, sour, bitter, umami - from chemical structure alone!

Me: shocked Pikachu.

If only scholarly publications came with a short synopsis of the paper right up front, written by the authors to highlight the important and salient points of the study.

We could give it a nifty name, like "abstract".
Well I'm sure this won't negatively impact the idea of scholarship as a shared collective endeavour to better understand the world.
