RT @LdyDrums@twitter.com: All of our politicians are required to do this. Republican or Democrat makes no difference. Is it reasonable to believe this has nothing to do with religion?? If it’s religion it violates our constitution. It needs to stop.

Adversarial collaborations sounds like an interesting way to execute an argument. Looking forward to see what has come out of this experiment.
Oh, hashtag: #ssc #slatestarcodex

RIght. So, I finally decided to Do The Right Thing, and put my papers - published and recently submitted - into #ArXiv, for y'all to swoon over. Great.
But ArXiv will have none of it, not until somebody have endorsed me and my humble contributions. It's close to midnight here, and I could of course start calling my colleagues - after all, granting the masses access to the heart of scientific knowledge is surely a purpose that trumps any other - be it getting a good night's sleep or having one last shot of tequila, or what have you.
But perhaps somebody here are sufficiently qualified, and willing to help the progress of science? You'd need to have at least two papers in ArXiv q-bio/gn - or some other category where I can peddle my inkblots. Help?
