This doesn't feel so shocking when married couples with kids function as platonic co-parents about 99% of the time, and that 1% is usually not in front of the kids... but glad they're studying for the nuclear sticklers.

That's fair. It would be nice if that were a legal requirement...

As it should. The quality gap between what Phys.Org and Ars Technica publishes is enormous, yet people still read it. On the flip side, my chemical engineers' best papers often can't make it into Chemical & Engineering News, which is tiny and the only reporting game in town...so Phys.Org it is...

Haha, I still don't know. Meltwater reports that they have tremendous reach, but we are skeptical. Then again, we actually have a mandate from college leadership to prioritize 'placements' in Phys.Org, so maybe there is some amount of valuable traffic on Mirage too.

Hi Manuel! I edit and write about research for the University of Michigan's College of Engineering. news.engin.umich.edu/author/kmca/

Looking forward to rebuilding the scicomm community I lost when I left that other site.

Nah we buy the family size boxes.

Yes, doesn't break your teeth that way.

Deeply ironic considering all I heard from Trump voters about Democrats and pedophilia.
