I'd now like to read to you from the book of Ephesians. What is a network of symptoms truly? That is the question.

We've been running studies of friend groups. Lots of fun, mostly because friend groups can be so varied and different (and sometimes the same). For example, here's a group of four friends that I showed during my talk today. Their accomplishments are all very similar and equally impressive

Trying to sneak into a conference without paying. Think I'll get caught?

In 46,000 people, people's desire for close friends ("I often wish I had more good friends") declines across life. Recent cohorts of younger people desire fewer and fewer good friends. But they otherwise follow the same trajectory. I wonder what people born in the 2000s will look like some day.

Here at Elsevier, we understand how long the review process takes. You toil for years on a project, then a retracted review process. That's why, and we swear to God, if you don't return proofs within 48 hours, this kitten will get it. We need to start making money off you ASAP. Get with the program.

You have my blessing but also what I'm hearing is this?

I'm giving an overview presentation of what my lab does and I think this meme accurately captures it.

My university has a near $15 billion endowment. This is my office name plate.

Three years ago, I handed this syllabus schedule out to students. It was funny at the time

Don't mind me. Just sitting in the WashU-owned skybox talking about how professors aren't part of the elite.

As a publisher, we use our billions of dollars in profits to continuously update our products. It's how we stay up-to-date and on the cutting edge of technology and the zeitgeist. That's why we always ask people for their beeper and fax numbers.

Hey girl, I saw you across the room. I just wanna say that I'm really worried about the viability of being a human in the future and it's unclear if there will be breathable air or not. But you seem cool. We should order mozzarella sticks.

Every year, there's a new set of awful supreme court decisions. Every year, I get to repost the time that the local news thought I was a student and asked for my commentary
