It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Being seen as a loser is what Trump fears this most. The “loser” label undermines his status as an authoritarian figure, making it impossible to uphold his image as a “strict father” conservative.

Doing honest research and taking care of your colleagues and your field can be as valuable.
We already have so much anxiety and fomo in the field, I’m not sure it’s making us better.
