And Vought spake, saying, "First shalt thou demonize thy workers. Then shalt score a 3, no more, no less. 3 shall be the number thou shalt score and the number of the PMAP score shall be 3. 4 shalt be removed, neither count thou 2, also removed, excepting that thou then proceed to 3. 5 is right out.

Related to the #NobelPrize in #Optogenetics: I'm reflecting on the question "who invented X?" in science. 10 years ago I wrote about the people who were working on optogenetics, the patent debates and the role of race and prestige. I don't know the answer, but... www.statnews.com/2016/09/01/o...

The saga of Zhuo-Hua Pan, perhaps the rightful inventor of optogenetics, raises the question of what it means to invent something in science.

Impossible to understand how anyone could look at Rufo's career and conclude he was someone engaged in a "forthright defense of meritocracy." Rufo's entire career is built on the idea of purging people who don't think or look like him from positions of power.

LOL. Rufo is a fascist whose entire career strategy is racism. The fact that these folks believe anything about the current GOP is colorblind is an indictment of their ability to think, their honesty, their grasp of reality. It‘s also revealing of their political sympathies.
