A fellow of the Royal Society slashed funding for disease prevention, leading directly to the deaths of uncounted children. He promotes white supremacy and is actively encouraging racist violence in the UK. But he's Elon Musk, a billionaire. So the Royal Society does nothing. @royalsociety.org

For a general one I like getting Woodford or Knob Creek. But if you see it I implore that you try the 10 yr Bulleit (cream colored label). It's so good, blows normal Bulleit out of the water

Personally just me myself, I don’t want a vibrant and reconstituted Republican Party. I want a humiliated Republican Party bleeding out as a crowd of passersby stands idly by.

Is there a bigger bait than "JOIN OUR COMPANY'S TALENT COMMUNITY!" options on the career search pages?

Petition to stop using any version of: Make [noun] [adjective] Again No “Make Science Great Again”, “Science Makes America Great”, “Make Evidence Matter Again”, etc. We actually don’t have to rework the Nazi tagline. We can simply be creative and come up with something better.

Completely baffled by a job app I just filled out that had a questionnaire that included "I understand that this position requires a five-day on site work week at X location" but the dropdown menu included a "I'm only looking for fully remote positions" option.

not related to your thesis statement but the title of the article... The training of our physicians on nutrition and physical fitness is absolutely abysmal (nonexistant) and needs a much much greater focus going forwards. Should it replace orgo? IDK. Should it actually be taught? Yes for fucks sake

These are the main roles I've been looking at, but they are hotly contested and for a few of them I know I'm getting dinged for not having commercialization experience. Though I've worked at CDMOs doing process development since 2018 and thus have a quite good grasp at that aspect of the work

What would be the title/keyword I'd need to be looking for in this case? outside of just searching for "sourcing"

Are there other fields to look into that people suggest to go from lab to WFH? Medical writing is one I see upon searching but I've never done that. Project management?

Will be moving to a locale with fairly limited lab-based process chemistry positions available come July. as such I'm becoming more invested in searching for fully remote #chemjobs - preferably in the process chemistry ouvre, at this point open to others as well. Advice or help greatly appreciated

Meanwhile my undergraduate email, i graduated in 2011, still exists and i could reactivate as an alumni if I wanted (i think). My grad email got killed like...2 months after I defended? and my pitt postdoc email died like 2 weeks after I left. I too just use a 'professional' personal email for jobs

ostensibly it's so they have the "freedom" of making their own choices in brand and style of tool, and so they can take it with them if they move to a different company but it's still ludicrous

I wasn't shocked because I've known a few mechanics and knew about the whole needing to stock their own mega toolbox thing, but it's definitely a shock when you first come across it

I need some wise sage (or the cliche career aptitude test from the television) to just tell me what (fully remote) jobs I could do and enjoy based on what I've already done

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
