As semesters start and you find yourself repeatedly answering emails with the same questions from students, this is my annual reminder that you can make all your frequent responses email signatures and just select them from your signature list to respond. You're welcome. #academicsky

I don't understand why Garfield hates Mondays. To the best of my reckoning he has never been held accountable for anything, on any day of the week.

Do American researchers have to explain why they only recruited American participants or is that special feedback that editors/reviewers reserve for Canadian researchers? Also, I'm getting pretty sick of having to explain why it's good to have data specific to my own country.

I keep seeing people post that Canadian universities should scoop up all the American academics who are losing their research funding.
I’m guessing these people have no idea what’s going on in Canadian universities after decades of deliberate underfunding.

You're boiling eggs wrong, apparently.

www.nature.com/articles/s44...
The best way to cook eggs is "periodic boiling". From the article, "periodic eggs were placed alternatively in boiling water (Th = 100 °C) for th = 2 min and water at Tc = 30 °C for tc = 2 min, for a total cooking time of 32 minutes, which corresponds to the repetition of the hot and cold cycles for a total of N = 8 times. In the case of periodic eggs, a bowl filled with water kept at 30 °C was used for the cold cooking cycle."
