Another basic income pilot focused on homelessness has released preliminary results after only 6 months because halfway through the experiment, it is already showing incredible effectiveness.
$750/mo for 6 months led to homelessness dropping to 12% versus 23% in the control group on a wait list.

Y'all been discarding rRNAs from your sequencing results. But I thought I'd address my questions as unbiased as I can be. It's all a hypothesis at the moment but rRNAs can do wild things 😳

I really thought that by doing a PhD in Cambridge I would meet other people interested in science as whole, curious, creative, eager to brainstorm and test ideas. I've never been so wrong in my life and I've been battling with ideas of quitting for over a year. Sometimes I wish I never came here.

Last night I went to some sort of rap open mic here in Cambridge and I am happy to have found the rap crowd I missed so much. It's also so interesting to just listen to the stories random people rap about.

Is it just me or has it become increasingly difficult to find meaningful rap? Or is it that I grew up listening to rap touching on sociopolitical issues and personal struggles? You can still find some gems but they've become sooo rare.

We're going to end up renaming the Kessler Effect the Musk Effect. Every time I read something like this I am filled with the dread that this reckless fucking idiot is going to kill space exploration as we know it because his junk machines are going to go haywire and trigger a cascade
Fun reminder time!
Starlink is an incredibly dangerous dipshit op they’re using to spy, but the satellites are crowding space in a way that should NEVER have been allowed.
