  It sounds so classy when a choir sings it.

  Really some insightful questions from the audience too.

  It also sucks for the hiring manager who has to interview candidates they know they won’t hire just to stick to the process. It’s a waste of everyone’s time.

  From the wiki article :

  Perelman resigned from his research post in Steklov Institute of Mathematics and in 2006 stated that he had quit professional mathematics, owing to feeling disappointed over the ethical standards in the field. >

  Anybody have any idea what the ethical standards might be that he’s referring to? Not sure if there’s a scandal or something or just an overall sense of displeasure with the field.

  I agree with other replies here with one addition. People who get into grad school are generally the high achievers from their high school and undergrad programs, so they are used to being the only or one of few star students. In PhD programs everyone is a star student, so it can be a bit jarring to folks used to being head of the class when they suddenly aren’t.

  It can cause a bit of jealousy and competitive thinking but most of the time students get past it and focus simply on enduring the gauntlet.

  A professor I was taking a management class with gave me a fun burn on my thesis. I asked for his input on a specific point and he called it “intellectual masterbation” and proceeded to talk for 15 min or so about ideas he thought i should have studied instead (I was already preparing for my thesis defense so couldn’t change topics). Never got an answer on the actual question I’d raised.

  That person went to a department that was WAY less toxic than mine was.

  That said, my committee was lovely and my thesis and dissertation were relatively low-stress compared to some of the horror stories I’ve heard.

  As a psychologist who was regularly taunted in school for being in a “soft science” this amuses me. Welcome to the reproducibility crisis, biologists.

  Such a great movie. Haven’t watched that in years. Might have to dust that one off this weekend.

  It’s been a LONG time since I was legitimately excited for a sequel. So ready for this one.

  Thank you for sharing this. I don’t see enough good news online. This story made me hopeful, which is a rare thing lately.

  There is a great documentary about her on Netflix. It covers her love of science and her attempts to get her design to the military for the war effort.

  Please God, let this trial be less of a circus than we all expect. Keep the jurors and judge safe and get through it as quickly as possible. Preferably with a guilty verdict that shuts this idiot up for good.

  I’ve had issues with this in using govt emails too. DOD accounts all have multiple dots based on branch and dept. It broke so many systems and emails never went through.

  Milk in Pepsi? What shortcircuited in their brain to make that taste good to them?

  Such an amazing speech. Only works coming from Dennis Leary.
