Should the PATHWAYS trial go ahead? (link in bio)

“I was not very good in high school. I did all kinds of other things. You could say I was a bit of a rebel. But if you're not a rebel, you aren't questioning anything. If you have a curious mind and a rebellious character, you can be a good researcher even if your grades are not so good. I am the living proof of that!” At today's Nobel Prize Teacher Summit, chemistry laureate Morten Meldal spoke about the advantages of being a rebellious researcher. Meldal was awarded the 2022 chemistry prize for the development of click chemistry.

@hameedshuja everyone has a degree nowadays, i found 3 phd's under my bed today. don't be so proud of yourself

Left: Me and my goats in Afghanistan. Right: Me after my PhD from one of the UK's top universities. Conclusion: Farage is an ignorant coward who thrives on hate mongering and racial stereotypes.

@Bryce_Nickels i met him once. califf is a legend and everyone respects him

Prasad's used kleenex has more integrity than Califf

@orwellian @martinmbauer "compared to what"? how about just don't rig the system and generate waste? i have options, so i left. my job was to make others appear competent. i made someone a prof by getting her published in jama, best pracital joke i ever played. they haven't published since i left

@BasedScience @martinmbauer ok. Here's my experience: I find the people who are reflexively fixated on this have not processed their own insecurities. DEI implementation is not perfect. But compared to WHAT? I think you'll find a common theme is a dedication to keep improving and that's quite worthwhile.

@orwellian @martinmbauer i recall gervais saying: im someone tells you they have never met someone like david brent, then that person is david brent

@BasedScience @martinmbauer what made you like this? save up some of this energy for stuff like the DOGE guys or just cheer them on resentfully?

@GWHayduke97 it's wonderful in norway, it's hyggelig. my south american friends want to top themselves though

It genuinely breaks my brain to imagine what 1400 hours of annual sunshine must be like to live in. When going to college in Chicago, I really struggled with the seemingly endless gray of the winters. Chicago gets 2500 sunshine hours!

@PsyPost i don't buy this. keep a journal and you will find that most often youre reminding yourself how lucky you are

Analyzing your own thoughts might seem healthy, but a new review shows that deep introspection is actually associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety, rather than boosting life satisfaction or overall well-being. dlvr.it/TRb3RP

@orwellian @martinmbauer everyone in the room will know who they are and quietly resent them. and they know who they are too, but they don't seem to mind. it would be a wondeful thing to apply pressure and make them sort it out

@BasedScience @martinmbauer point out who should go and why

@MrMiyag08320124 @NickDixon it's a complicated discussion. religion reduces everything to "evil!". we need to at least respect the discussion

@BasedScience @NickDixon There are no circumstances where an abortion does not end the life of a baby Now it just has limbs and looks more like a baby than it used to The psychological issues this will bring about if the procedure is ever carried out will be impossible to cure It is approved murder

Literally allowed to kill your baby up to birth = Handmaid’s Tale Dominant public display from religion that puts women in sacks = not Handmaid’s Tale

@TarjeiJS needs good commentators, ie simon williams, not yanks yelling

WOW, this is BIG breaking news, Erling Braut Haaland invests in chess: “I’m investing in Norway Chess because I believe the new Total Chess World Championship Tour can turn chess into an even bigger sport for spectators around the world," theguardian.com/sport/2026/mar…

@HuddsPrsrvtnSoc they pandered to her dei traits and let the patients pay the price

Yorkshire NHS dietitian told patients that lime water is '1,000 times better than chemotherapy' to chew each bite of food 32 times and even instructed one patient to consume a specific type of biscuit from Lidl examinerlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-…

@zoecabina you'll never be mal meninga

Just went up to a woman and told her she had great quads Like knows like

@MiladAUSTlife i didn't notice that guy up there, it's like those old guys on the muppet show

Dear Prime Minister, you are supposed to be the Prime Minister of #Australia, my Prime Minister and every other ordinary Australian, proud and head high. I would like to ask what is Australian about this picture?! Being in a mosque, sitting on the ground barefoot, while there is a big verse of the Quran over your head, and a Muslim cleric sitting 5 meters above you on a chair while you are seated on the ground, surrounded by a bunch of extremists. This is totally a disgrace to Australia and Australians. @AlboMP

From 1990 to 2022, the US adult obesity rate increased from 19.3% to 42.5%, affecting more than 100 million adults. Projections estimate that by 2035, nearly 47% of adults will have #Obesity, with sharper increases among younger adults and persistent differences across states and sex and racial and ethnic groups. ja.ma/40BxERB

@Reuters reuters, always happy to spin for those who need it

Protesters heckled and booed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during a visit to Australia's largest mosque for Eid al-Fitr prayers, voicing anger over his stance on ally Israel's offensive in Gaza reut.rs/4bDoIjE

@CamillaTominey the insults always fall flat, i had a putrid dog as a pet, i loved him

Progressive stuff... Australia’s PM called a ‘putrid dog’ and chased out of mosque telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
