I’m sure this time of year— when you can see Christmas lights, inflatable turkeys, and skeletons peeking out of coffins all within a block—is magical everywhere
But I think it’s extra special when you live in a place that’s still too hot for any of it

Man, I don’t care how good generative AI gets: I don’t think I’ll ever get a story done without at least one conversation with a human colleague who gently suggests I might get myself unstuck if I try doing some more reporting and/ or writing

I should have said this the first time: Megan recently shifted beats and is covering faculty issues. So if you have some thoughts on that, get in touch!
Since it's what got me onto Bluesky, I may as well make this story my first post. I spoke to @aheadofthenerve.bsky.social, @holdenthorp.bsky.social and @tnfalpha.bsky.social about Katalin Karikó's Nobel Prize. Is it karmic payback, evidence that academic science is broken, or somewhere in between?
Penn Demoted Her. Then She Won the Nobel Prize.
