I see James Watson has died.
What did Watson discover?
Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.
Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

Being a mentor during application season: reviewing one mentee’s application, sending it back… and immediately getting another one in my inbox! Truly a revolving door 🔃
Jokes aside, I’m so proud of both my mentees and wish them the best on their applications 🤞🏼

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

I finished Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen on Apple Books 🌶️📚
Kate Beckinsale’s narration brought the story to life. It was full of romance and wit. I laughed, teared up, and felt completely swept away by it all. One of my favourite quotes is below.
I highly recommend it 💙

Finished "The Long Walk" by @stephenking.bsky.social writing as Richard Bachman from Audible 📚🎧
While it didn't totally grip me, the premise (a deadly endurance contest seen through a teenage boy's eyes) is fascinating.
Curious to see how the film brings it to life! 🎬

The idea that an instructor can and *should* be fired for daring to teach something not explicitly mentioned in course catalog is the pinnacle of the "students as customers" idiocy that's been steadily destroying American universities for decades now.
You're taking a class, not buying a product.

A top 50 US university yesterday fired an instructor, a department chair, and a dean because a course made some reference to transgender people without the brief official course description in the catalog saying “trigger warning: gender.”
In conclusion, those intolerant lefty kids, cancel culture.
