@jkottke Jeepers, all this complicated stuff. Drizzle with good olive oil, put ’em on the barbecue next to the chops or burgers or whatever. The key technique is taking them off when they’re showing black bits & will thus be a bit crispy, but before they char.

"Dunning-Krugerand" is the best imaginable name for Bitcoin.

Very nice teaching/learning ressource on wide-field imaging: https://scientificimaging.com/topic/microscopy/

New posting! And another one dealing with me #LeavingAcademia as part of the #GreatResignation. This one has a slightly broader focus - why it's sometimes right to walk away, and that staying isn't always the best course of action. I've a feeling that #careers in #academia will struggle to stand up to scrutiny in this post-pandemic work environment. See what you think (as ever, comments always welcome!)

Our editorial walkout at NeuroImage immortalised by @dglaucomflecken is the absolute icing on the cake 🤌😙

I don't care if BlueSky gains popularity over Mastodon. At this point, I don't wanna be on the dance floor with the cool kids, imma be in the side room with the five weirdos I like.

We need to investigate

New posting! This is the latest in the series of postings examining my departure from #academia, and the way that taking part in the #GreatResignation has shaken me out of a torpor that took hold several years ago. #LeavingAcademia

Zebrafish neuroscience course at CSHL. Great crew of people. https://meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?meet=zebra&year=23

Following Elsevier's decision to raise the article processing charge for NeuroImage to $3,450, all editors (inc. chief editors) from NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports have resigned, effective immediately.

I am joining this action and have also resigned.

For those who don't already know, there's a great crew (Jennifer Water, AnnaJost, and Talley Lambert) that runs this online resource for all sorts of bio microscopy: https://www.microlist.org/ and they have an active forum as well:

Really enjoying the Bernie Sanders UK Tour 2023 just for watching a lot of the interviewers realize his vaguely renowned and dangerous cartoon leftism boils down to basic moral commonsensical policymaking composed of no-brainer shit that any rational society could accomplish if its aristocratic dick puppetmasters hadn't made bribery 100% legal and thus framed obviously good things "controversial."
