Here is what an honest job ad for am academic position looks like.
A really great article about a successful penis transplant.
NYTimes finally publishes a great editorial on opioid overprescription.
The field guide to consent. In the spirit of diversity and inclusion, I want to point out that I know of at least couple dozen cultures in the world that would find this guide absolutely hilarious.

This is not a link, but I wanted to share something. I’m visiting a friend who’s chair at a top 10 engineering department.

Very interesting, the concept of anti-citizen. But I also see this in people here. I totally see why USSR / similar create this, but it seems that liquid life (or whatever it is) also creates a version of it.
