As a biologist and someone who drank our own raw goatmilk for years growing up...

OMG THIS. If you are not intimately familiar with where it's been and how it's been handled DO NOT BUY RAW MILK.
And by "intimately familiar" I mean, really intimately. It is a risk. It's a risk we chose to take knowing exactly how everything was handled and with mitigation on our part. But even so it was STILL a risk.
Buying raw milk puts the decisions on mitigation in someone else's hands, while you continue to carry the risk.

Lots of layers here.

First, big labs =/ small labs. Structurally, they're very different in PI interaction.

Second, cascading mentorship is critical. As a student, being a PI is still a long way off, post-doc is your next step so that's critical mentorship.
Third, personally, mentorship from the PI in two labs kept me in science for nearly 20 years, and "mentorship" from the PI in another lab almost drove me from science completely, and did drive me from academic research.

But I've worked primarily in small labs
and as I noted above, small labs are very different. In a small lab as a summer high school intern I had daily meetings with the PI and active input on the project. In a big lab, you'd be working almost entirely with a grad student or post-doc, seeing the PI for project updates.

East Coast US indigenous people "probably" had direct contact with southwest indigenous people 4k years ago. It's really cool to see this proven, but by now we really should assume that people traveled unless proven otherwise. sciencenews.org/article/island…
Something that regularly frustrates me is the assumption that ancient people didn't travel/trade. It's not just a cultural thing, it's biology. Humans evolved as exhaustion hunters. Long, steady, unaided distance travel is literally in our DNA.
To assume that ancient humans didn't use that skill to travel, explore, and communicate with other humans is silly. Even moreso in the face of ever growing evidence that basically every ancient group did.

So much to unpack in this article. First, and most important, the lesson science has to KEEP learning, that you get crap data if you only look at one population in one area.

The second is that however you raise your baby, they will catch up.

sciencenews.org/article/cultur…
Beyond that, there's the broader science. A confirmation of the walking->talking developmental jump, a proposal that even non-walking babies can learn restraint...
Not only do we get crap data when study a narrow sample, we get really NEAT data with WAY more information when we study broader groups and include things like other locations, cultures, etc.

A thread on "Right To Buy for private tenants" that @johnmcdonnellMP and @UKLabour are considering and which was discussed briefly by @michaeljswalker & @AaronBastani on a recent @novaramedia podcast - some concerns and an alternative suggestion for achieving same goal 1/n
@johnmcdonnellMP @UKLabour @michaeljswalker @AaronBastani @novaramedia I endorse the principle that we should help tenants who want to escape the private rented sector to do so, and that we should find ways of sharing out some of the eye-watering windfall gains and rent extraction that landlords have enjoyed throughout housing boom/crisis.
2/n
But there are several problems with the Right To Buy for Private Tenants proposal:

1. Tenants would only be eligible for the discount if they have been renting in the same property for 3+ years (and presumably had been on an official tenancy agreement for this whole time).

1) Kamala is the privileged daughter of foreign post grad students. She spent most of her formative years growing up in Canada. She's not an Black American descendant of slaves. She's a Brahmin Indian (highest caste) descendant with paternal lineage of plantation slave owners.
2) She wasn't a defense attorney. She was a prosecutor. She laughed about smoking weed listening to Tupac Shakur but put almost 2,000 people in jail for doing pretty much the same thing. She levied fines on single mothers whose kids were truant from school.
3) She denied parole to inmates so she could make them work for nothing while the State of California made a dollar a day off their labor.

Kamala Harris has literally nothing in common with the black American community. Her name, Kamala, means "lotus flower" in her maternal

Okay. I'm doing this. If no one reads this, at least it might serve as therapy. After years growing up in Ashland, OR and being exposed to pretty much the entire Shakespeare canon, I went to acting school in Seattle, WA. #MyBrilliantCareer
I had always been a movie kid. Watching the Oscars since I was god knows how small (on a 10" tv). Tuning into Siskel & Ebert religiously every Sunday. Harassing my local theater to program Raising Arizona and She's Gotta Have It and Baron Munchausen. #MyBrilliantCareer
So I get to Seattle - and see Do The Right Thing. My mom had taken me to NYC for my high school grad present - and that's it. I'm all in on NYU. Started attending in fall of '90. #MyBrilliantCareer

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.
