This is so concerning and corrupt. Everyone needs to pay attention to what’s going on with this administration!

It sucks for me that stackoverflow is down, but it *really* sucks for the brave soul who has to fix stackoverflow without using stackoverflow.

New PhD students: Don't undervalue the importance of selecting a PhD advisor. Do your research. Ask the students. This decision is important for not only your scientific successes but your mental health in grad school. Not all advisors fit all personalities. #AcademicChatter
