Finished a paper on what used to be known as the separation of powers. Now working on two on what used to be known as academic freedom.

I finally watched Conclave. I like that Ralph Fiennes has the same energy as Kermit the Frog trying to keep The Muppet Show from going off the rails.

A piece of career advice I give people I mentor is to go where you are valued. It means it’s important to be in a role where you are respected, recognized and rewarded.
Sometimes despite tenure, it’s better to leave and accelerate your career trajectory versus staying where you’ve been written off.

I didn’t mean to send you that letter with those offensive demands (which I 100% continue to stand behind). But you completely overreacted to my accidentally disclosed demands. I have no choice now but to steal $2 billion dollars from you.

Fewer beans = great coffee if you get the pour height right
Pour-over coffee is made by flowing a strong, laminar water jet through a bed of ground coffee beans.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.
