When I had my first ND, I literally could not make sense of the issues for 2 of 3 reviewers. God bless the third who gave me detailed comments, they're why I could resubmit. The summary on the discussion gave me a much better sense of what the sticking points were, and which I could address.

But it will matter to grad students, post-docs, and assistant professors. That's where more detailed feedback is critical to try and understand what went right or wrong...

Try the freezer for 30 days. I had great luck getting the (insert expletive of choice) out of a container I wanted to keep inside that way. Pantry moths are awful, good luck!

Oh that is good! One of my favorites is about Van der Waals forces - if you are out at a restaurant with your friends, you lean in a little to chat (weakly attractive) but if someone gets so close they spit on someone else's plate when they talk, it's very weird (strongly repulsive)

I would love to see this! I'd be willing to share what I do for protein structure and function. This seems very memorable!

Breastfeeding, ventilation and air filters, and things like vaccine mandates all help. But I live in Florida, so the only thing I can influence is the first one. I have a friend in another state who was able to donate a high quality air filter to the daycare classroom

Oof. Good luck! I finally went with just a few slides then run the brick-breaking activity. I figure an activity >> then lecture on a topic I don't love for learning. qubeshub.org/community/gr...
I hope your class goes well!

Is it possible to make an additional donation to purchase a duck? I love this, and would totally buy a used quack-o-gram for display

Anyone else. Apparently this meant I was horribly biased and incompetent. I pointed out that English is necessary at US universities, and got a very rude reply. That one I wound up sharing the entire thread with the graduate coordinator to ensure no one else in the department tried to make an offer

Sure. I've had one who responded with why I had to have funding and went 4 deep on replies, then waited a week to resend the original email. That ended when I blocked them. The worst was one whose original email had such atrocious grammar I suggested having someone help edit it before contacting 1/2

Sadly, it gets worse. Sometimes I worry about replying even with "I am sorry I don't have funding at this time" because I've had some problem interactions

As someone who started in 2022, I got about 3/week at first. Significant uptick since grant funding became messy in the US, so 1/day is about what I am seeing now. Most are awful because the email makes it clear they didn't read the department website or anything about what I do.

Your breastmilk will best balance your baby's tummy! No need to make that more complicated. If a doctor (the MD kind) is worried about an allergic disease or reflux disease (not just normal baby reflux), then worry about diet. Absent that, breastmilk for the win!

But that is speculation on the cause, but diet can change breastmilk

I looked it up, and papaya can contribute to butyric acid levels, and that stuff stinks! So if you ate papaya, it likely increased your butyric acid level, which could've meant a little more in your milk

Okay! First, breastfed babies are less picky than formula fed babies because some of the flavor compounds from what mom eats end up in breastmilk. What probably happened is some of what was in the papaya wound up in your breastmilk. I'd be surprised if an entire functional enzyme made it into milk.
