The song is not even one of their singles, nor is it from the album Grave Dancers Union. Where the hell did this even come from?

Just sitting here, minding my own business when a song by Soul Asylum that I haven't thought about much in the past thirty years pops into my head and won't get out.

Brains are weird.

There's been a lot of evidence put out there recently that scientists and tech folks should have to take more humanities courses in their education.

Yeah, looking at it, it's not very helpful, sorry. But I remembered it, which is something.

Anyone on #chemsky have thoughts or insights into fully remote jobs that still live in the process development chemistry realm? May potentially need to transition to a remote position next year and trying to plan ahead

There were some (brief) thoughts on remote chemistry jobs recently on this here site. See replies to below.

Dr. Hotlink @shmemistry.bsky.social · 12d

What's over/under on there being remote jobs in chemistry R&D going forward?

A Simpson's reference? That's a *great* email.

"I love grooming dogs, so clearly my email will be 'DoggyStyle', since I style the dogs. But that's taken, as are 'DoggyStyle1' through 'DoggyStyle68', so I guess that means I'll choose..."

Teacher: "NO!"

(that's how I naively imagine some of these choices are made)

There should be a class in high school that everyone takes called "How to pick an email address that you will use for the rest of your life 101".

I haven't checked yet but I would probably know if I was one of this year's MacArthur genius grant winners, right? Someone would have told me.

It helped me connect with people in my local community.
This led to finding a new group of friends, joining their running group, and participating in a relay run across my current state.

Met some people on twitter who ended up tremendously helping in my promotion.

Also, just met some really good people.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

So many ways other ways one could have gone with for a reference...
