Well there has to be some benefit to passing on the money. It's kind of like at salary negotiation. You can impress them with how you really are there for your passion not materialism. Or you can get money.

Mental health (particularly psychiatric illnesses) is something of an outlier among medicine in terms of how limited progress has been compared to other disease categories. As for physical therapy, I have also experienced a degree of reluct

Businesses also tend to line the major roads (or at least be clustered at major intersections) whether it's city or suburb. And suburbs are apparently planned to have major roads running through them with fairly regular spacing.

This isn't my experience. I lived in a few different suburbs and there were always sidewalks. The only place I've been to where I really noticed their absence is smaller cities in New England. I always assumed it was due to the fa

Malan is a "Professor of the Practice". That means teaching only. There may be some kind of job security for such teaching roles, but it's not a tenured nor tenure-track title. Usually just a fixed contract you have to repeat

I would guess this is some kind of a standard procedure for detaining people during a protest. And by detain I don't mean code-word for arrest, I mean the legal term for questioning people when police have reasonable suspicion that a c

Anti-vaxxers is a pretty small movement according to polls, compared to the attention they've been getting (ten percentish). And it's certainly not just a US thing. More people probably believe in astrology. I'm not a virolog

Unless the employee helped in a way that they didn't realize could be used for such a hack. And/or they just thought it couldn't be traced back to them.
