As a professor, I appreciated this article; the poignancy from the ending reminded me to reflect on how I choose to spend my time. I think the one nuance that’s missing is the concept of “prerequisites”. Most courses at a university have th

As a university professor, I can assure you that, in fact, “received food stamps growing up” and “first generation college student” are both identities that are specifically listed in DEI programs I am familiar with, for example special NIH

I’m curious about the role of fresh out of college hires in this issue. Hired on an OPT for two years and then converting to H1b. Any inside info on the fraction of applications in this scenario?

Recognizing the legitimate concerns about the article tone, it’s worth mentioning another point not mentioned in the article: when kids get older, my experience is that public schools in “fancy” neighborhoods often have unpaid additional st

Ironically, the whole patent appears to be about the concept (how is that patentable?!). The actual treatment is “known in the art “. Quote: “The tendon is composed mostly of an extra-cellular collagen matrix, which is non-immunogenic. The

Please observe a construction site in Houston (I just drove by some roofers a few minutes ago). There are breaks, but they are much rarer than a "normal" person might expect.
