For those wondering what the QT was. See below.

I am doing my best to hold down the fort on the “other app.” I hate how the reproducibility crisis is being weaponized against the whole idea of science and being blamed on hiring practices. It was an honor to peer review for JACS and I’d love to do so again if given the opportunity.

But the journalist seems to think he’s looking down as if in shame at the remarks Bilbo seemingly directed at him. Grandpa told me that he and most of the soldiers there smirked and laughed at most of what Bilbo said. Little did Bilbo know that my grandad would go on to fight in the Korean War.

Losing my grandad, Albert Komatsu, this year has hit me hard. He was my last living relative to serve in uniform during WWII. His younger sister is now my only living relative to have experienced internment under EO 9066. Going through his stuff, I came upon something I hadn’t seen before.

Anyone in Ukraine or especially in Kyiv. Whatever is about to happen, do not ignore the air raid alerts going forward. This is a new posture that I haven’t seen since ca April 2022 when the US Embassy reopened in Kyiv.
