"There is a replication crisis in biology...therefore scientists don't want to vote for my mad party". Very normal discourse

I wouldn't do so unless invited, but since I am invited to do so tomorrow, if I had to give Postdoctoral academics advice on how to get jobs outside of academia I'd say,...

In the UK if you're under 34 years old you're less likely to own a home than a 65+ year old is to own a SECOND home. Today the UK government has decided to give the majority of people in the second category a £200 handout, funded by the taxes paid by the former category.

Extremely funny (for me, not the person involved) watching men who obsess over pseudo-intelligence nonsense have such a basic and fundamental misunderstanding of what science is. Like making football your whole personality but not knowing the rules. Humiliating for them. Pathetic
