To clarify, I did my PhD in an immunology department in a top US grad school, and I attended the talks by the actual authors of some of these seminal works in the neuroscience department next door. My question was not an indictment on all b

Can anyone in this rough field even comment on the long term benefits of such research? And why this needs to be in Cell? I’ve tried my best to attend as many neuroscience talks about work like this regarding place cells etc and keep walkin

What does “raise on participating preferred” mean? How is it so hard for people like me who are good engineers to still not be at the bottom of all these terms lol.

Spanish is not dumb simple. A friend transferred a PhD there and could never get to the level of comfortable conversations with her lab mates and had a hell of a time. Same with French or any European language not English to be frank (have

This has got to be the funniest responses to the problem at hand: peppers not spicy enough? grow your own..

I totally see them being linked and as one of the reasons why there's a general failing of trust on expertise. Here's a clearer analogy; would you sign up with an obese personal trainer? I mean you might say that you personally wo

Yeah I gave up after trying to ask this simple question in philosophy forums: is there a justification for eating meat? And for the most part the answers from actual academics is no. Then the simple follow up is are you vegetarian. The answ

All the non programming intelligence in a place like Google likely goes into figuring out how to protect and expand one's turf, which will explain this emblematic mess.

The immune system in the gut has a complicated roll: it doesn’t just find bacteria and yell “bacteria! We have an infection!” Thus it needs to be able to tell the good bacteria from the bad. How does it? It constantly surveils the gut flora

I can stay in an acceptable room for two digit dollars a night in Vegas. That’s not true even in Mumbai. Cheap flights too.

Resource here means something with external knowledge. Pen and paper is not a resource in that sense. If you keep an algorithms book and look into it that would be considered cheating as well unless the interviewer pre-agreed that it’s open

Go to Costco in Texas and watch the literal pallets of bottled water the people cart into their trucks. They make up for entire Japanese towns probably.

No it won’t - the vast majority of the perpetrators, perhaps rightfully, will think that doesn’t apply to their case because of their instititional politics.

The irony is that the confocal microscope is the workhorse of biology. A scanning confocal often costs a few hundred thousand minimum and is a pain to maintain so individual labs don’t have one, but every lab and near every project will nee

You can learn the politics and choose not to play it. It’s still useful to understand why people act the way they do and never be surprised by things that affect you.

The reason is more often than not it just cannot be fixed. Only way to fix it is to fundamentally start fresh.
