Do I know anyone who reads Persian well enough to help resolve a machine translation of a health research article from Persian to English and would be willing to have a look? The researchers have no funding but we could do some kind of skills barter perhaps.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

All my 3 had mcjobs in high school and, other than the junk food they ate (so much) it was mostly good for them. Their workplace practices weren't the best in those days, so I'm glad to hear they've improved.

Lots of Australian unis have "teaching specialist" roles now that have much lower expectation of research output and grant success. It allows me to have a research-only role, so I'm happy. Making people teach who don't wanna be there is bad for students
