Who wants to live to 99?

That's what Reds used to do before he got sick. And he was a big boy. Sometimes it would take both of us to get him in. Very cartoonish.

Doctor gave a guy six months to live. Couldn't pay the bill. Doctor gave him another six months.

Huh. So, this happened.
Patient was fully vaxxed, but not boosted. Symptoms mild and improving.

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.

Mrs. GeneJockey just sent me something by Facebook Messenger, but all I got was "Attachment Unavailable". At least I hope there was an attachment that's unavailable, and that "attachment unavailable" wasn't the message..... 
Alternatively "attachment unavailable" is what happens when you buy a vacuum cleaner but cheap out on the accessories.
