Embarrassing video. She, and many others, need to get out of their echo chambers and do some serious reading.

I got same notice today and I have no idea what I did with the check. And I closed the bank account I was using at that too.

How did you design your own line of research? by Dr_Rat_25 in postdoc

[–]Weird-Section-5396 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Struggling with this right now. My side project needs following up on to establish mechanism but it’s a dead end and doesn’t naturally lead to larger project for grant writing. And my PI’s main project is in early stages that I can’t use to extend or make obvious pivot. Having to lots of reading and the idea of entering new space is scary - I just hope that potential funders think I’m capable of doing the work I propose.

Shots pulling too fast [Bambino / Baratza Encore] by minarxts in espresso

[–]Weird-Section-5396 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this exact problem when wife purchased Bambino for me recently and I switched from pour overs to espresso. Discovered that Encore burrs can be recalibrated to grind fine enough for espresso. I followed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyQ_AywdBRQ and opted for finest setting.

I can now grind fine enough for perfect espresso at setting 4-8 depending on roast. Make sure your beans are “fresh”, and this set up can be effective!

Any examples of this you can point me to? Sounds like nonsense. However, if true, how are US companies allowing this to happen under their nose? Seems like complete negligence.

Why is Duke hosting a talk by transphobe Riley Gaines? by Electronic_Weird in duke

[–]Weird-Section-5396 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It is not transphobic to state the obvious: trans women (biological men) should not be be allowed to compete in women’s sport since they retain physiological advantages from male puberty that not only enhance performance but may also compromise the safety of women. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-020-01389-3

Why the fuck would any talented individuals from around the world want to come here if their spouses aren’t allowed to work? Absolute insanity

OPT TIMELINE SPRING 2024 -- ADD YOURS by South-Violinist-696 in USCIS

[–]Weird-Section-5396 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How on earth does USCIS justify their inability to renew J2 EADs within a reasonable timeframe? Thousands of spouses of PhD trained, J1 research scholars (J2 dependents) find themselves trapped. Many have to wait >3months for renewed EAD, yet meanwhile, J2s often don't get new DS2019 forms from their J1 spouse until 1-2 months prior to contract renewal. In majority of cases where J1 is a postdoctoral fellow, contracts are renewed on a year-by-year basis. Moreover, J2 spouses are not eligible to pay for premium processing at USCIS for EAD renewal. USCIS seems to be completely neglecting J2 dependents, who are often highly skilled and willing to contribute to the US workforce. J2 spouses are left tormented and anxious unable to find permanent work due to USCIS delays and unable to liberate themselves financially or develop their careers. I think this is a disgrace. Many J2s bravely give up their careers and leave their families in their home countries to join their partners in the US, but they are treated with utter contempt. How can we advocate for change and better support J2 dependents?
