You had a fun weekend too (minus tech losing)!

… and what happens if Duke wins the championship?! An unranked getting into CFP is gonna be complete chaos.

Absolutely. I do not believe they are the cause. They are an outcome of the problem for sure, which the system feeds.

I do not accept the delineation of “predatory” journals when these for profits are not considered predatory simply because of prestige. And yeah, system has been broke for quite a while and now is just accelerating. One day scientists will realize what “publishing” means and doesn’t mean. I hope.

I don’t have this new fancy viper fitting you speak of. Though, tbh, we didn’t run much last year due to facilities issues (ie our climate control was/is broke as a joke).

Ha, I am not laughing while reading this. Also I used these traps for my DTSC setup and I swear sometimes they are possessed with over pressuring. No rhyme or reason in my hands, definitely have lines and cartridges around.

Good luck!

Tell me more!

First off, excellent and will be reading.

Second, totally off topic, but I dig the gear looking Venn. It’s like a serpentine on the front of an engine.

I hated when lost smoky oak, and tbh, this iteration never made sense. I sincerely hope something fun moves back in. Things next door in the former glass company space aren’t cutting it.

At least one (or two) of these are more “lifetime” achievement type things, but the Cotter is for the early researchers. There’s been efforts to make the descriptions and qualifications broader for each award while keeping the intention. Others know better than me.

Still, good perspective.

Ugh, never forget. And this got picked up by so much pop sci outlets too.

Say what we will about the feds right now, but I am pretty sure they realized how much we paid in publication fees and subscription fees and noped them pretty hard. Unsure how this is shaking out in real policy so far.

So I love this scene at the end of Casino Royale, but then someone pointed out Mr. White's knee pads and I can't unsee them. Still, easily one of my favs, and 100% my fav trilogy.

You motivated me to click through. Turns out not many actual emails of substance (without a time limit, like review invitation), maybe less than 20. I’ve unsubscribed from a lot now.
