And I'd always thought that schists were caused by a night of too many beers and a dodgy kebab...!

Doesn't feel like conference travel to the US will be very attractive for the foreseeable.

Also: "American researchers should now be granted the same considerations and care as colleagues in other countries that are authoritarian or at risk of political unrest and conflict." 🤯😒

It's not resurrected as it was never extinct.

Dire Wolves play at home to Spurs this Sunday.

I'll get my coat.

Another gem from George Church? I use one on Woolly Mammouths from 3-4 years ago in The Sun as part of my science journalism and science writing materials for our natural sciences students as an example of outlandish sensationalism.

Here's another classic from Church: www.google.com/amp/s/www.te...

The art of a magician is misdirection. While we are distracted looking over there, what's happening that we aren't seeing. That's what we should be really worrying about.

Coalition of evil.

Maybe delete anything that could be considered critical of the Trump administration. Unless you wish to risk being arrested under terrorism charges, where the food is imagine is not so good! Perhaps delete anything related to DEI too, just to be safe.

He doesn't help things by pointing out that they haven't taken action against the racist Watson, either.

You could ask similar questions about people who run/fund labs of 50+ people, etc. Is it not more efficient to spread resource more within the community? Personally, I find a group size of 6-8 is optimal, but I'm perhaps exposing my inferior capabilities in admitting that!

Trump is behaving like a Russian asset.

Yes, but that's not a truth that has penetrated Trump's head. And it probably never will as he is blinded by his own self-image and lacks the necessary self-awareness as he has surrounded himself with compliant sycophants.

Trump covets the Nobel Peace Prize. He sees his route to this as negotiating a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. He is too weak to pressure Putin, so is targeting who he sees as the weaker man, giving Russia what they want. This is all about ego and self-gain, personal insecurity and weakness.
