    Misleading title :-/ Gotta do better tbh. At least there's a link to the actual (public mind you) tweet, but still.

    Really?... Isn't the 'underlying' skill ( and it was hard for me to write that last word )... being able to communicate? Are we really going to call this anything but the ability t…

    I just hope it isn't another ( there's been more than one ) NASA level "announcement" on astrobiology that's going to rewrite the "book". These sorts of headline grabs do nothing t…

    My 'fav' class as an undergrad was also the hardest. I was 'lucky' to have received a 'C'. There was one 'A', one 'B', my grade ... in a class of perhaps 30. When a grad student as…

    Reading through all the responses...My personal take on what I've been reading. The amount of cheating that I ( and my fellow professors ) have seen during these past few years has…

    Totally confused why folks are not understanding/believing what you've stated. I can attest, this is happening and at 'top' tier places. I can't tell you how spot on you are regard…

    Happened with my partner, and have heard of this from a lot of friends. This is a real issue. It hurts 'real' candidates and everyone that takes time to be apart of the hiring proc…
