I'm surprised it's that large. Analytical, engineering-type folks are not widely known for their social aptitude or political savvy. Their interests and aptitudes also align in a way that usually the most gratifying or most remun

So, if I consume 2,500 cal per day at breakfast, fast the rest of the day, and keep my weight steady, then consuming 2,500 cal at supper instead of at breakfast will cause me to build fat reserves. It seems to me that, as a corollary, I can

These papers' reporting biases have been well known for years. But the GP makes it sound like a particular story aired last week that focused specifically on an AGENDA the papers are pursuing. An agenda is much more than a bias. It&#
