So universities make research professors pay for their entire salary & research through grant funding, but then the university also takes a cut of your grant funding? Seems like you’d have to always apply for grants, so when do you do research? Is this why you’re all kinda grumpy

Kind over nice.
Outcome over ego.
Velocity over speed.
Quality over quantity.
Effective over efficient.
Ability over experience.
Progress over perfection.
Consistency over intensity.
Competence over charisma.
Environment over willpower.
Correctness over consensus.
Long-term over the short-term.
The right way over the shortcut.
Avoiding stupidity over seeking brilliance.

Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 838
The die is now cast: BA.5 is destined to be our dominant virus.
In today’s 🧵I discuss the implications on the course of the pandemic, and how to think about responding.
(I use “BA.5” & not “BA.4/5” since BA.5 is poised to outrun BA.4.). (1/25)

We’re back to mandatory N95s in the hospital and y’all out here literally singing about being able to cough on each other on planes. I’m so goddamn tired.
