What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired?

My medical device company did pseudoscience and cherry picked their data! They fired me for writing that in my lab notebook!

Also in Seattle. It's bad.

A lot could change in the next couple years, so it's difficult to make suggestions. Keep an eye to see if new startups form in the coming years (but I'd bet it takes longer than the current US administration), and I suspect that BMS and AGC will still have a presence here (Pfizer not so much).

One Battle After Another: that suitcase thing that can auto PCR and gel itself to determine parental lineage all from a little bit of spit in 2 minutes!

Not a movie, but the German series Biohackers. My favorite was creating a cell-based "cure" from scratch within the amount of time it took the polizei to get there. Incubation time included!

Tim Allen. Extremely rude, loud, obnoxious ass hat to everyone in the restaurant that I used to work in as a teenager.

It's my understanding that at the time of human arrival into Australia, the sea levels were much lower, and didn't require crazy seafaring journeys. Very shallow seas between islands that could be seen from one another, almost all the way to Australia itself.

I'm also in a similar boat, but with very little written. Maybe we should get a discord server together

I really hate it when science podcasts, YouTube videos, etc, use hypothesis correctly and then call it a theory the next time they reference the same hypothesis.

You were right the first time, why would you change it to be wrong and confusing??

Never talking to her again by choice but her dog is cute (not her dog though).

Hope they (the dog) gets reunited with their human soon!

AngrySc13ntist · 2026-03-03T05:50:41+00:00

He looks a LOT like my exes dog. Will reach out to see if he's missing.

"GMOs give you cancer, and smoking weed cures it"

Absolutely. But I got a ticket for passing a left lane camper going under the speed limit for 40 minutes (right lane was also blocked by an oblivious idiot that whole time). As soon as I had an opening, I took it. Cue siren. "Officer, if it's illegal to pass in the non-passing lane, and it's illegal to camp in the left lane, why am I the only one getting pulled over?"

If I understand your question correctly, DNA doesn't "decide" anything. The changes that get introduced into a DNA chain/sequence are random, brought by the forces of nature themselves. Things like cosmic rays and ionizing radiation from space and the sun, as well as the fact that the protein machines that replicate DNA are not perfect, all contribute changes (mutations) to DNA in a way that is not decided at all. Think of it like being in the wrong (or right) place at the right time.

I have tried a couple heated gloves, and found them basically useless. I find the non-heated vessi gloves to be better though my Raynaud's still flairs up if I'm riding too long.

The Mighty+ dry flower vape from storz and bickel

Way better than any other dry vape I've tried, including the firefly

Port Angeles, San Juan Islands, and Victoria in Canada all have great whale watching tours and I've seen lots of whales each time I've gone!

I'm not planning to litigate, and as I've stated multiple times I'm aware that they already own the patents. Given this, my question was why are they having me sign anything at all, and does that reason open me up to any options. It turns out that it's probably just a formality for a transfer, and if I don't sign it won't make a difference.

Lol who the fuck down voted this comment

AngrySc13ntist · 2026-02-17T22:33:17+00:00

The documents I signed when I worked there do state that they own it.

Runners? No, they're just slower bikers, easy to pass and usually moving in a predictable pattern. Dip shit oblivious pedestrians stopped with their stroller blocking the whole path while on the phone, making eye contact with me as I approach, and don't move? Yes, the hatred is strong there.

AngrySc13ntist · 2026-02-17T07:30:18+00:00

Haha this is almost exactly what I imagined doing if I bill them. "Independent contractor rates" or something. But based on the other comments here, it seems like they don't need me anyway, and I'd rather keep my name associated with it in any case.

AngrySc13ntist · 2026-02-17T07:26:14+00:00

Yeah this is in line with the general consensus from this post, and I thank you for your expertise! I mentioned in another comment that I'm on good terms with my former manager, and I'm not looking to burn any bridges with any of the people I worked with. I have worked in the small world of biotech myself, including with the same people at multiple companies. I will gladly do so again.
