I fucking love that we still have poster sessions. That people are happy to print research on giant paper & travel thousands of miles at great expense to hang it on a wall, stand next to it, & explain it to strangers who accidentally make eye contact with you as they wander past.
Poster sessions are the great loophole for med students and residents to put together some bullshit in order to travel to another city to get drunk and not learn anything for a few days. Never change academia
LMAO at med students telling me not to ruin this for them as if their attendings don’t know what’s up when you ask to submit a project you started 3 weeks ago to the Society of Internal Hemorrhoids meeting in Miami in January

I’m so glad you asked. Allow me to answer in excruciating detail...
This is how the eye is supposed to work. The cornea and lens refract light directly onto the fovea, allowing you to see 20/20. This is how us normals are able to see well without glasses, and lemme tell you, it’s pretty awesome.
Lots of people either have gigantic eyes or steep corneas that refracts TOO well. The light is focused in front of the fovea (near-sighted) instead of ON the fovea and you end up seeing like garbage and sleeping in your contacts.

Let’s learn about eye infestations. If you don’t want to hear about Loa Loa or what happens when Botfly larvae get into your retina, now is the time to mute this thread. Everything from here on out will be horrifying.
Let’s start with cysticercosis, a disease in which sacks full of pork tapeworm larvae develop all over your body. I hear it’s a little itchy. Anyway, these little guys travel along the ciliary nerves and nestle under the retina. I don’t blame them, it’s probably warm in there.
Unfortunately, you can’t blast the subretinal cysts with albendazole or they could break open, incite intense inflammation, and cause the eye to shrivel up and die, a process known as phthisis (because of course ophthalmologists call it that)

Here's a thread about what it's like to #travel by air in India these days. First, you open up your preferred ticketing website, check for a decent fare and select it, only to find that there's a non-refundable 'convenience' fee to also be paid.
So you open up the airlines' own websites and compare the fares, and see that the sneaky gits also charge a similar fee, for reasons unknown. Thus you go with whichever website offers the lower overall fare. Tickets bought, you decide to check in online at the appropriate time.
Here, you discover that you have to pay extortionate prices to select a seat (even a middle one, sometimes), so you say "Fuck it, I'll check in at the airport." Then you book an Uber at surge pricing rates, and the guy cancels on you (but you get hit with a cancellation fee).

Love is a universal phenomenon. Everyone in life experiences love but their attitudes and experiences of love differs radically. It is a strong positive emotion of affection and attachment.
#ThursdayThoughts
The word “Love” is a fuzzy word, often used to refer to any and all the emotive and cognitive forces that bind people together. “Love’ is complex and no simple explanation of love will do.
#Relationship
Love is often referred to as an “emotion” although on closer investigation, the term “love” includes different ingredients such thoughts, feelings and several emotions.

THREAD: What are some writing tips for a successful @Spencer_Fdn Research Grant Proposal?
So glad you asked! ONE: Remember who your readers are. Your proposal will be read by people who are knowledgeable in your field of study & methodology as well as generalists in ed research.
Therefore, your writing should be clear and direct. While you may use technical language in your proposal, please avoid jargon and hyperbole.
TWO: Plan writing with your deadline in mind. It's tempting to aim for the next available proposal deadline, but that can lead to rushed and incomplete proposals.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
