I mean, that’s basically what mine is

Second half is advice, mostly around how to think about the academic job market and how to prepare for academic and non-academic jobs

(I now realize it's not obvious from the photo but the bottom is solid black. It's just so shiny that the light reflects, creating those light spots)

To have it improve over time just make sure you cook very hot and add a little oil and swish it each time before cooking. It will partially polymerize.

To (re)season I crank the heat to its highest on the wok burner and wait until it starts smoking. Then I add a v small amount of oil and wipe it quickly around with a wad of paper towel. It smokes like hell and burns in. Repeat 3x and let cool. To clean I typically just use water. ~Nothing sticks

I think there are lots of savoury dishes where people add no sugar and it would be better with a pinch

On the upside, I got to talk to the guy that blew the whistle on him. He did it while he was a postdoc! He had every reason to believe this was career suicide, so it was just incredibly brave of him. Good news is he landed well and now has a good position.

I had not because I’m trying to minimize the amount of manual work I have to put into this, but you’re right that it’s a neat idea

I suppose I could always drill the holes asymmetrically and leave the axis unlabelled, to convey trying to publish a result where scrutiny is asymmetric, but ideally I'd like to convey just the minimal point about selection on significance (not sign) first.

the main problem is that while this vividly shows the missing estimates, I don't think it conveys the problem of bias when the distributions is not centered on zero. I could literally add numeric labels to the bottom, but this feels intuition-breaking

I don't mean to be rude but I don't think this conversation will be productive. We both lack enough context about the other person's probably complicated beliefs, and I don't want to spend the time to build that context right now. sorry.

I don't mean to dodge a sincere question, but I think the question is badly formed. replace them *doing what*? I do get meaning from my work and I really like it, but most work is drudgery and I think we can find lots of meaning outside of much (possibly all) of it.

that has not been my experience
