There’s no perfect solution to this. I can take my time to drink eat and digest in the am because no kids or others needing me to do anything that time of day.

This looks incredible!

I work out early but drink tea, eat, etc first. Do you think that you need something in your stomach first? Works for me.

HMMMMM

Yes we do. Surprised it lasted this long in a way

Esprit was elite. So aspirational for Bay Area girls in the eighties.

Love you Alexis, as always!

Thanks for the sweet words! When I started writing this things sucked significantly less than they do now. Thought I was too focused on the negatives then, def don’t think so now.

That’s the genealogy right there.

Radford, who wrote this for the Guardian, implies that Watson played up and may have exaggerated his eugenic beliefs because he loved “getting a rise out of people,” and that the only reason anyone listened was that he had won the Nobel. What a terrible use of an award.

Good lord. At least they tried to reverse course. I wonder how many other institutions have this kind of history…prob a lot. Thanks for the info!

Cold Spring Harbor Lab, the state of the art bio research center he founded, took away his titles and censured him. Science magazine, the flagship pub in the field, only publishes refs to Shockley with links to the history of his eugenic claims. Which were “science” claims.

I know that the prizes aren’t perfect, white men dominate them, etc but the general idea still stands. As a researcher I have a sense of what it takes to see a project through and I have 1/10000 the stamina of these people. That’s the facts.
