My understanding is that attendance exemptions are mostly to allow a student to regularly see healthcare professionals (ie weekly respiratory therapist visits) without suffering the wrath of a prof who feels that anyone missing more than 2

In a high stakes, challenging environment, every human weakness possible becomes a huge, career impeding liability. Very few people are truly all-around talented. If you are a Stanford level scientist, it doesn't take a lot of anxiety

Phys.org often bumbles headlines (and implications) a bit, but I like to use it as a stepping stone to the original paper (which I likely wouldn't have heard of otherwise). Sadly the authors paper isn't easily found on the public

QGIS is great, I use it daily and I hugely prefer it (and it's mobile equivalent Qfield) to ArcGIS and FieldMaps. The educational world is pretty split between ArcGIS and QGIS. Students don't want to pay over $100 for a yearly ArG

I love nature documentaries, I'll have a look at that one! I agree, lots of animals use tools in one way or another. Starting or even just controlling a chemical reaction does seem like a big step above mechanical methods though. I wou

I'll believe it when they release geochemical data for the soot and plot the locations of the "hearths" on the cave map. Where is the published peer reviewed paper associated with this announcement? This discovery was made in

The systematic teaching of math at some universities doesn't make a whole lot of sense either. Why should linear algebra be taught after calculus? Why is number theory basically ignored by most of engineering and every other science at

The phrase > here's our list of 10 of the best. seems particularly listicle-y, especially with the full stop rather than a colon or nothing

Interesting suggestion! It seems there is not a complete english translation available from a single translator, or one affiliated with any university/previous scholarship at least. I couldnt find any in a quick search of a few major

I like the concept. What happens if a company claims to have removed their recommendations yet has not? Would this even be enough to cause a scandal with real consequences? In the western world the vast majority of people I know already hav

I find I can sketch much quicker than I can CAD. Some of my friends are the opposite. They use CAD with two mice that have buttons on the sides with hotkeys. I like sketching because what I want is an impression of a scene in my mind. My
