@dr_krystal I try to be mindful of this but at the same time.... is anyone really offended? This seems like much ado about nothing. It's well known that "guys" is a colloquial term to refer to a group of people. Just like "mankind" encompases all of humanity.

@mattparlmer I feel this way about carbon nanotube synthesis. Patchwork of effort to make single chirality tubes, but parameter space is huge and complex. Hard to sort thru without real combinatorial experimentation ability.

@BretWeinstein Hey Bret, what’d you do for 15 years during your PhD? Published 1 paper that was just a hypothesis proposal, and your thesis was that x3. As a scientist it seems you have never actually engaged real-world data, only fantasized about how things might work. Why should we trust you?

@seis_matters So many of the responses apparently can’t conceive of a person who is excited about doing research and determined to be successful, even in exchange for some amount of personal enjoyment or free time. It is pretty hard to have a productive PhD with a clock-in clock-out mentality.

@BretWeinstein I don’t see any valid reason for concern. The Republicans rely on a series of mostly false claims to build suspicion of voter fraud and then pursue with a sort of cheeky “just asking questions” vibe. We should pursue improvements in voting but casting widespread doubt is harmful.
