Not only are there standards, in NYC there is a maximum IQ, and NYPD went to court to defend that hiring requirement. Which makes for a fun lil retort whenever a cop says something like "well if you think you could do better, why don't you put on the uniform and prove it?''

It sucks that spiro has gone out of style because I have buckets of pickles I've made and it's been harder to give them away than it was back in the day

How did they get you in the first place

She's just got jacked calves. Have you never seen a buff woman before?

I see a knee. What are you seeing?

Now I'm confused. I just see muscle definition?

Isn't that just shaggy fur?

Yeah, that's how hoofed legs work. Did you not cover tieflings in gross anatomy? Seems like quite an oversight

4 is correct, 1-3 and 6 I could learn to coexist with, but 5 deserves a cherem.

Tiger King and his tiger

Anyone can experience that if they dare to dream big enough

My sister just published her first 1st author paper, but she's co-1st author. So of course I hit her with "congrats but when can we expect your first real 1st author paper?" Gotta give 'em something to work towards, that's the secret to motivation.

There's still one big name holdout who rejects the protein-only hypothesis. Laura Manuelidis at Yale. Fascinating character

That kinda slow start/acceleration in the back half usually means there's a big ass turbo under the hood

Grey's Anatomy is just One Piece for normies

How do you expect me to do NMR if I can't embrace degeneracy

Lists showing "delusional and Polish" and "delusional but NOT Polish"

Exactly, you have to be precise about these things

Just did a quick survey of the lab, everyone in here has fucked up one of those calculations. So it's not just you

Movies you've watched more than six times, gifs only

Ah, that makes more sense. I assumed you were doing a bit

Well then, TIL. Thanks

Screenshot of gboard set to Hebrew

What keyboard do you use that includes vowels? I don't think that's even an option for gboard?

Hardly the first whacky contradiction they've come up with

And the corollary that modern Hebrew was invented whole cloth in 1892

Yeah ok you're not supposed to rank mitzvot but I still say tochecha is one of the better ones. What could be more Jewish than being productively annoying to those in power?

If this is the baseline, what the hell did JFK jr do to fuck up so badly he had to go to Brown?

I kid, I kid. Just some lighthearted teasing between colleagues

I mean yeah, MDs are always going to feel insecure when they work with real doctors. Gatekeeping their scope of practice is just the easiest way for physicians to cope with not having a PhD

Shouldn't the dress code be Hugo Boss?

@jamellebouie.net talks about this a bunch, and how the focus on unconscious bias can be a red herring
