@tezos_jeff @AjvictoryMD I hope you meet the right person someday. I used to think I wanted to spend the rest of my life in St. Louis, until I met my wife and suddenly didn’t care anymore.

@DJGould94 I submitted a paper I've been working on for 7 yrs. Also on Friday. Actually it was Sat, but that sounds less fun. I recall telling my wife shortly after our first date (5 yrs ago) that I wast just finishing it up. Yes, I'm a nerd - but to be fair, she asked me what I'm up to!

Please don't knowingly publish incorrect things just because you figured out how to get it past the reviewers. This isn't a game.

Multiple times this year: Me: "Ugh, that reviewer comment was actually insightful - running that additional analysis could totally invalidate my results." (procrastinates for 9 months, then runs the analysis) Me: "Oh, the paper is actually even better now. Thanks, reviewer 2!"

Please put the sample size in your abstract. Or some sort of stats. Or at least one quantitative result.

Writing a review article that contains about 40 instances of the word "use", only two instances of "employ" and zero instances of "leverage" or "utilize." Do I need to be fired from academia?

Reducing antipsychotics doesn’t help with social function, but leads to relapse/hospitalization. I’m glad they put this debate to rest, but why are people surprised by the fact that mainstream medicine actually works?

@AjvictoryMD I usually say “I’m from a lot of places, but more St. Louis than anywhere else... how about you?” Usually the question is innocent, but rooted in underlying bias. I want to help people realize that they’re really trying to ask “what’s your ethnicity?”
