The learned helplessness that many academics display when it comes to connecting their devices to projectors and displaying slides is a form of negligence

I'm doing two massive projects right now and one involves looking at where people earned their doctorates before winning a very, very fancy thing and boy Stanford can't even see Cal it's so far ahead
my favorite Cal vs Stanford dunk is Cal pointing out that the periodic table contains Berkelium and Californium but no Stanfordium
(also Seaborgium, which is named after a Cal Nobel prize winner and is an anagram of Go Bears)

I’m super excited to finally announce that I’ll be heading to Purdue this Fall as a postdoc. I’ll be there to contribute to their Cog Sci/AI domination 🧠 🤖 I’m super sad to leave WashU, but some of the best people are at Purdue and I can’t think of a better place to go next!

It is tragic that there is no day when people neither fail to know De Morgan’s laws nor fail to seize opportunities to apply them.
Every day people walk around without knowing De Morgan’s laws and miss opportunities to apply them. This is tragic.
