Ran out of mod points before I found this, but thank you for giving me my new favorite expression. I will accuse many of "speaking out of their donkeys" in the coming days and weeks.
He said differences in "abilities" might explain why there are fewer women in tech and leadership, bottom of p. 3. I'd say he therefore DID actually suggest that.
...isn't that one of the exact flaws the article is accusing some modern research of? Plus I'm glad there are scientists there to conclude a drug is not safe and to show that MRIs are not useful in determining causes of chronic back pain; how is that a failure of science?
As an engineering professor, let me just say that if you bring a laptop to class, you might as well be wearing a dunce cap. It makes you look stupid, as in "I'll take the time to come to class but not pay attention." Most of my colleagues feel this way too.
I agree. Here's a nugget from the wikipedia page for the phrase:
James Morrow has been quoted as saying "'There are no atheists in foxholes' isn't an argument against atheism, it's an argument against foxholes."
Not so simple. I live a 30-min walk from my work, through urban Philly. To bike it (I've tried) is 10 minutes on the bike, door-to-door, owing to lights and other traffic rules. I often need to change clothes (summer is very humid). I have to lock my bike up outside due to fire-code regulations preventing them in the building. Changing clothes and locking/unlocking add time to the bike commute. Walking is just simpler. In rainy weather, can you bike with an umbrella? And no way would I listen to a podcast on a bike -- you need your ears to bike in the city.
I was a bicycle commuter (4 miles) in graduate school on the west coast and loved it. For a simple 1.5-mile commute, walking seems better.
Glycine is the simplest amino acid, and it the only one that lacks a chiral center on the alpha carbon. Of the four groups attached in a tetrahedral arrangement to the alpha carbon, two are hydrogen atoms. In all other amino acids, one of the two hydrogens of glycines is replaced by a distinct functional group. The really interesting thing about biologically used amino acids is that it is always the same hydrogen of the two that is replaced -- all the 19 non-glycine amino acids are so-called "L-stereoisomers." Discovery of any one of the 19 amino acids other than glycine in a comet would be quite a story, and it would be even more surprising if there were a mixture of "L" and "D" stereoisomers other than 50/50.
My bet is that if another amino acid is found in cometary debris, it is asparagine, since it can form by the reaction 2*glycine - water.
Could you easily methylate the DNA you synthesized? The originators of the study conducted it to show that their methylation assay potentially adds confidence to the authenticity of DNA evidence, as in it shows whether the DNA is from an human (methylated) or from a laboratory (non-methylated).

He+ also has a single electron.

and they're not worried about satellite imagery?
The guy was of course under heavy scrutity at the casinos
I for one would enjoy reading your definition of "heavy scrutity".

wow, something alongside a couple of nuts that's smaller than it's supposed to be.

How bad would the penalties be?
atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.

Oxymoron.
Why not upload page images to it and just sell the screen without the paper?
