Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Friends, when I, a Ph.D. in this field, post "I study this and I am still baffled," it is not an invitation for you, a person who has thought about this problem for seven and a half seconds, to guess the first thing that pops into your head as if it is useful insight.

many things are always phallic but nothing is so consistently yonic as violin plot graphs. they knock it out of the park every time. when a seminar speaker describes some aggregated data they're about to show I just know it's gonna look like a vulva. & then it literally always does. nice.
