If it makes you feel any better, I write flight software for spaceships and this post makes me feel the same way. Salary isn't the only way to measure worth.

"As we know it" is just as important as "gone" in the title. Even if every single tree survived (almost certainly not the case), the park will not be the same for many years to come, and the loss of the historic CCC bu

Are you an immunologist? I'm not, but it's my layman's understanding that most candidates are likely to make it to stage 3, and that most will fail in stage 3. As far as I can tell, the number of candidates in stage 3 trials
