Postdocs and Research Scientists/Engineers at the UW are on strike.

I'll not comment further here on the strike, but I will note that the UW's administration can take their suggestion that they might tell the faculty or anyone else how to "feel" about the state of the bargaining, and shove it.

The Supreme Court is most likely about to gut the (narrow) use of race in college admissions. Doing so will further concentrate power in majority white upper income cohorts while reducing both excellence and social welfare. Dean Schmill brings the receipts. Read the footnotes, btw: they contain those receipts.

"Similarly, reproductive aging and women’s health are finally on the scene: several initiatives have recognized not only that reproductive cessation is the earliest aging phenotype, but also that menopause itself (which is about 15 years later than reproductive aging, so not interchangeable) can cause aging, and that mid-life health may ultimately determine future longevity. This, plus the acknowledgment that female animals are important to study in all aspects of biology, may lead to the end of ignoring 50% of the aging population’s needs."

Sorry I disturbed you, dude. I figured if you could sit in a crowded Starbucks using your speaker phone you wouldn’t mind if I cranked up my bagpipes.

"Typing and retyping as if you know where you're going is a version of what therapists tell you to do when they suggest that you try changing from the outside in - that if you can't master the total commitment to whatever change you want to make, you can at least do all the extraneous things connected with it, which make it that much easier to get there."
- Nora Ephron.
