Not quite as funny as the University of Alabama betting scandal getting found out by a guy going into a sports book and being like "no no I have insider information" but I am not surprised that this got revealed because the NBA actually tries to keep an eye on gambling behavior re: players/coaches.

We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving."
Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out

I encourage people to watch this video. The selected footage shows the professor doing nothing even slightly out of line, whereas the student misinterprets the law and hopes to impose her religious beliefs on the material.
Administrators caving to this is terrifying.
