Wisdom teeth removal at this age is brutal. 0/10. Do not recommend.

Folks, today (20 Nov) is Transgender Day of Remembrance and I hope everyone can take some quiet moments to reflect and acknowledge on the violence and harm that has taken many from our wonderful Trans+ communities historically.

And a reminder that it costs nothing to be kind to everyone.

I feel this is a common theme in academia. The worst shit is imposed on us, and we take it upon ourselves to solve the problem. And I think this is because we’re all huge nerds who love to solve problems and who see ourselves as people who should be able to! We accidentally weaponised our own values

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

How can we get students back to reading books?
Not anthologies, not short stories, not textbooks. I mean whole fiction and nonfiction books.

Raziskovalci v začaranem krogu: Izjemno pomemben poklic, a s premajhnim ugledom
Raziskovalci premalo obveščajo javnost o svojih dosežkih, kar vpliva na prepoznavnost in družbeni ugled znanosti v Sloveniji, meni prof. dr. Boštjan Udovič.

Always here for a giant spider web story www.livescience.com/animals/spid...
World's biggest spiderweb discovered inside 'Sulfur Cave' with 111,000 arachnids living in pitch black
A giant colonial spiderweb in a sulfuric cave on the border between Greece and Albania may be the largest ever found — and it was built by spiders we didn't know liked the company of others.

Mamdani visiting Puerto Rico first, eating mofongo, and saying "Puerto Rico no se vende" (Puerto Rico is not for sale) was not in my bingo card for 2025

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ -- Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's fascinating how when the immune system is overactive it also sucks at focusing on fighting what it has to fight.
So relatable

A reminder to all scientists & data viz people 🧪:

It's Spooky Science Time.

Adjust your models to use the paranormal distribution 👻from now until November 1st.
Stolen from the Internet, a cartoon: A "normal distribution" showing the standard bell-shaped curve with x-axis ticks. Then below it a ghost-in-a-sheet hovers above a ticked x-axis below which is labeled "paranormal distribution" The joke is that this kind of ghost is vaguely bell-shaped.
