  1. I grew up wanting to be either a paleontologist or a NatGeo wildlife photographer. I did my PhD in paleobiology, work as a biology professor, and do wildlife photography in Yellowstone and Glacier on my weekends and school breaks. Living the dream.
  2. If you have data showing this to be a risk at the population level, show it. Data matters, opinions don't. Further, quit skirting peoples' questions if you want to be taken seriously. Someone asked if there was data indicating getting the booster with a flu shot led to higher rates of problems. I'm a biology PhD, my wife is an MD, and neither of us is aware of such data, but both of us would both be highly interested in seeing it if it exists, as both of us are in a position to actually influence behavior among our local population.
  3. The dark spots on the map are the best places. Luckily I live near three of the biggest such spots south of Canada.
  4. You're reading it backwards. If you want to claim something about abortion is racist, it's that a lack of abortion options would be racist, because it is indeed women of color who need to seek them out more often, which is itself due largely to lack of access to healthcare during a pregnancy and lack of sufficient economic standing to care for a child. Thus a lack of access to abortion would disproportionately harm black women, which would be... racist.
  5. Id love some backstory here
  6. Helluva game. Hope y'all crush whatever bowl opponent you get matched up against. Gundy spent several minutes congratulating as many Baylor players as he could find. Pure class. Lots of respect to him, the team, and the program y'all have built.
  7. One of the top ten, possibly top five programs in college football is one fired coach away from being Kansas or New Mexico. Ok.
  8. Earlier scheduled game was cancelled (due to covid outbreak I believe)
  9. Great game man. I was telling at the TV at one point about how y'all were gonna choke away another one to OU. Glad I was wrong, and I have rarely been so happy in another team's victory.
  10. Best Thanksgiving ever
  11. Perfect post is perfect
  12. Meh, see my above. The committee is putting high priority on good wins this year. OU would have more of them, more wins total, a conference title, and a single loss to a top 10 team on the road.
  13. Why? Either would have one more game (and one more win) than ND, would have a conference championship, and would have more quality wins and wins over ranked opponents (ND's only solid win is over Wisconsin; the rest of their schedule has turned unexpectedly bad this year).
  14. The only way Cincy plays Houston is in the AAC championship.
  15. That was satisfying.
  16. Nothing gets me hyped for football like casually airing out the nutsack in an empty stadium.
