  Dang even fiction writers shitting on social sciences now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fake reviews lol⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is crazy. I wonder what the context was for making up reviewers. Because it sounds like the paper would’ve maybe still been published without the fake reviewers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mollusks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with medium gray’s interpretation

  If you change your orientation, this could still be clockwise

  I just always say P-N-A-S

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I throw up after smoking weed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is most likely this. OP is one of the unfortunate people that just cannot use marijuana safely due to his biology. If you have cannabinoid hyperemesis, best to stay away from weed because the constant nausea/vomiting can lead to unintentional weight loss and a lot of other physical problems that are no fun.

  There’s a white color. You can tell they erased it from the legend

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Science of Storytelling⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a poor reference to a quote from the TV show Community. The half Palestinian character Abed says that his father’s falafel restaurant had been struggling for a while because “9/11 was pretty much the 9/11 of the falafel business”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Science of Storytelling⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  9/11 was the 9/11 of the Jenga business

  The pain is a lesser problem than getting chronic kidney infections. If you know the stones are the cause, you need to see a urologist to figure out a solution. Recurring inflammation from the stones and infections can cause more and more problems as you agree, and may potentially affect your renal function down the line.

  During my graduate research, our lab space was next to the cell modeling department and I would catch a talk here or there. Always found it a super interesting approach because it really tries to make sense of what we’ve learned from traditional biology and generates really nice hypotheses/theories for testing out in biological models. I also love how you can apply so much abstract mathematics to biological systems for biologically meaningful findings. Most of these types of cell modeling papers go above my head, but I still really appreciate them from outside.

  Cool! I used to work on molecular dynamics of viral proteins through computational simulations in undergrad, but had never heard it be called theoretical biology before haha.

  The duck is theoretical biology?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns about cars⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like for 10 of those years, it’s acceptable. Maybe even like 12-13 because everyone doesn’t learn at the same pace. But for at least the last 5 years, this dude was living in a kind of ignorantly blissful haze that makes me envious of his carefree life.

  The summation starts at n=0 and goes up to n=inf. I think that’s pretty standard

  I guess we’ll have to find out together when the show comes out!

  I was thinking maybe it’s some sort of interdimensional mixup where the astronaut is in an alternate reality and that’s why she doesn’t think the daughter is right, and the daughter doesn’t think the mom is right.

  It’s kind of wild how many PhD positions there are for so few jobs. Maybe they should just start limiting how many PhDs can graduate in a year in the country to however many jobs there are. Create some sort of stability in the market and limit the number of young people wasting a 10+ years of their lives in a field where they may not be able to build a career. Similar to how med schools limit numbers to start proportional to the number of residency positions.

  Yeah but there used to be hope for affording a house after you finished and got into a tenure track position. But now there are barely any tenure track positions and even those don’t always pay enough for a house
