Hot off the press! We (@ChristiansenLab ) surveyed orthopaedic surgeons in California to find out if/why they employ BMI cutoffs for hip/knee surgery. Is one of them bias? đź«Ł rdcu.be/d8tLm #ucdavis #orthopedicsurgery @UCDavisOrtho @UCDavisResearch

Strongest possible advice to early grad students: you need outside hobbies or projects that are meaningful to you. It is dangerous for your only source of value, identity, and friendship to be academia. You absolutely have to find something else to invest in, it’s just not safe

All across the country, academic workers are ruthlessly exploited by very wealthy universities. But now they are standing up and fighting back.
