Sitting in the sun in a café in Bedminster with an alcohol-free beer reviewing an excellent paper that is a pleasure to read in every sentence. Sometimes this job is pretty f*ing good

Tutoring and academic advising of UG students is one of these things we do that can take up quite a bit of time without any visible effects, so it's very gratifying to find notes like this lovely little card under my door this morning - thank you, that's made my day!! #chemsky #education

What happens to science under autocracy? The rise of the National Socialist Party in 1930s Germany provides an (admittedly extreme) example. Prior to the early 1930s, scientists at German institutions won a third of Nobels. 10 years later, that number was 5%, and has never recovered.

Doing the wrong thing for the right reason does not make it right. I have respect for the motivation and passion of these people, but they are not doing anything to solve the problem. On the contrary, extremist actions fuel controversy and make finding solutions harder.

A good test of how much one has grown over the course of their PhD (which I often use) is to ask them how long it would take them to do their PhD again. The shorter the answer the better, no matter how many papers have come out of it
