It’s brassica all the way down.

Thank you, but I never intend to write another thesis. One doctorate was enough, and I work in clinical practice so I don’t do a ton of academic writing anymore. But thanks for sharing!

I wrote my thesis in LibreOffice and I would have been SOL if not for Zotero. Who cares what people use? Use what works.

I have lost any and all respect for Elsevier in particular after that whole AI debacle.

This is horrifying, thanks.

Cuddy’s one weakness…Na+/K+ ATPase!

It is astounding to me that this happened. A complete failure of peer review, of the editors, and OF COURSE of the authors. Just absolutely bonkers that this made it to publication. Completely clown shoes.

This is my new very favorite meme of all time. Thank you for posting.

The key is to do it manually. Reject modernity. Embrace reinvention of not just the wheel.

Nah, the trick is to, at random, leave a package out of the text file so the system isn’t truly managed and all is chaos!

Package managers are for chumps. Build everything from source and track where you installed it in a single master text file.

Ya see, soil is like ogres…

Following along with interest.

Where’s the “surely if I do ANOTHER postdoc I’ll be a better applicant for a TT position…”

I don’t think my family has ever been excited about one of my papers, but my whole extended family turned up to my thesis defense. Nearly overwhelming.
