Presumably it's made by someone with some scientific credibility. Or could I show up at a witch doctor conference with my self-study findings on the effectiveness of drugs?

I'm guessing 39th. Was there a place called Troy's Deli, somewhat below sidewalk level?

If a truck can manage with three speeds, a cyclist should be just fine with "only" ten.

I don't remember. There were some 9-year olds with a gun who got my money because I figured it would really hurt to find out it fired more than caps.

Yep. Ended up having to remove the top and load him from above sometimes, rather than through the door.

Stephen is the total opposite. I put the carrier on the dining room table, pic him up, bring him over to the door and he goes right in. I think he has been crated so many times that he knows resistance is futile and that he will survive whatever happens.

During my fellowship, my best buddy published a string of very high profile stuff, including a paper in Science, some of which I was on and most of which was at least partially fake. A smart journal reviewer figured out one of his little frauds and told our boss, who panicked and decided to keep it all hidden and play dumb if the authorities ever found out. This boy also dicked me around in a hundred ways which only became apparent later, including inviting me to his European lab as a visiting professor when we were junior faculty and then sticking me with the bill, which I had to pay out of pocket because he promised travel for my wife and kid plus an honorarium, and I did it as outside activity.

He went on to a chaired professorship and vice-deanship at Harvard Medical School, where the hanky-panky continued. A few years ago, he got busted for sexual inappropriateness (a chronic issue with him, I later found out) and lost all his NIH support. However, it was kept absolutely hermetically silent by HMS and they shifted him to another slightly less fancy position. My old boss, that reviewer, and other people who know never stopped doing business with him and inviting him to ****. People all over the world still line up to kiss his ass, although lots of them detest him.

That made me pretty cynical about science as an institution, even though it has put lots of food on the table over the years.

What I'm getting at is that I assumed one would at least have to be a doctor or member of the association--the kind of person less likely to sabotage their reputation by publishing utter junk.

We had carry-out for lunch from a “fusion” restaurant. Maybe it’s one of the 13 from your map?

Mrs datlas had bibimbap which was quite good. She let me have a taste.

Sounds just like me, but the last 10 years or so I avoid sugar. I don’t wanna get to 99, though.
