Nature just published a piece on why probability doesn't exist.
Lee Cronin said many times chemical reactions are not real.
Your genetics professor probably confessed to you before that there are no genes.
Biologists still disagree on whether cell types are even real.
And we already discussed how there is no such thing as aging.

This summarizes one of my favorite parts of doing science - the longer you stare at your cherished concept, the more it disintegrates and becomes non-existent. Seems to be a universal feeling - struggle to describe reality with words and numbers - experienced by many across fields.

@LATAMAirlines No sirve de nada que les de los mismos datos una vez tras otra. Así llevo 9 días que no encuentran mi maleta. No viajen en LATAM, pésimo servicio al cliente e incapaces de cumplir con sus servicios.

@LATAM_CHI Equipaje perdido desde hace 9 días! Y ni me pueden decir con certeza dónde está. 😕
Traten de no volar en LATAM.

This academic year, I co-founded and have run the Researcher Wellbeing Group at @UniofBath, providing peer support for ECRs researching traumatic subjects. Given the clear need for groups like this, I'd like to extend the invitation to ECRs at other universities. DM to join! 1/3

"..across the UK, many families with young children are at breaking point ..findings from the @iHealthVisiting provides further evidence of this...[and] only 7% of health visitors feel confident that those families would get any support” @ClaireEOMeara https://t.co/h3ZnPrrfg6

At #acnp2022 the issue of grad student /postdoc pay came up, but it wasn’t mentioned that without higher salaries, students from less-wealthy families are at a particular disadvantage. So part of the question is how much is NIH willing to invest in diversifying the workforce?

University of California campuses come to a standstill as 48,000 student workers strike for better pay. The strike is groundbreaking – the largest in the history of US higher education and part of a wave of organizing at college campuses.

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD.

University bosses are rattled. Across the UK they are threatening UCU members with unfair and immoral pay deductions if they take part in action short of striking. This thread exposes every single one of them
