I always tell this story when I hear debates about sharing. My PhD student was about to submit a paper and so got ready to upload code and data. She decided to run the code again to make sure everything was fit for others to see/use, and she found an error! Sharing encourages carefulness.

You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups.

Nope. He's disgusted by car bloat.

We’re a shoeless household, but I get that there are cultural differences and floors can be washed. But chairs are meant to be sat in, and no one’s wiping them down between users!

A minor thing compared to what we’re currently dealing with, but I will never understand people who put their feet up on chairs in public places. Don’t they know where their shoes have been?

Think you prefer videos to articles? Wait until you're assigned to do some workplace training course.

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.

What if NIH had been 40% smaller?

Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

The street I live on is narrow and curved. When I drive (which isn't often, since I normally bike), childless me drives super slowly in case the neighborhood kids are playing in the street. The kids' parents zoom into their driveways at top speed. I truly don't get it.

The final scene from The Way We Were is burned in my brain, probably because I‘ve watched the movie so many times. I love how this scene captures the way they clearly longed for each other while also recognizing their fundamental incompatibility. RIP, Robert Redford.

Robert Redford is on the left, Barbra Streisand is on the right. Her hand is gently touching the back of his neck and he’s holding her arm. They’re looking at each other longingly.
