None that I know of, unfortunately. It's been a while, so there's probably newer content out there to sift through, but that's a pretty deep rabbit hole of multi-hour videos. Maybe I could find one of those videos that repres

It's in our nature to worry about the state of things after our death. If you have children and grandchildren, it's entirely fair to worry about their well-being long after you will be gone. Same is true even if you don't hav

Also, for whatever my purely anecdotal experience is worth, I'd say the general quality of a professor's teaching was negatively correlated with how hard-ass they were about anti-collaboration policies. That also held true for a c
