Sometimes I am reading about an interesting mathematical topic and my brain is exploding with the pleasure of new ideas, then I am confronted with the fact that I still can’t remember which is “concave” and which is “convex” and I am sad.

This is so crazy. Take out the queen, and workers ant fight, with the winner *transforming* into a queen, gaining additional lifespan. Using scRNA-seq, authors show these "queens" have more glia, suggesting that that helps increase brain health to enable longer lifespan.
Our single-cell ant brain paper is up on @biorxivpreprint. It's the first single-cell study in a social insect brain, and we're really excited about it! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/3)

Looking for advice:
Spoke to a PhD student a few days ago who had some horrible stories of bullying by their supervisor. The student has complained to HoD and graduate tutor but was brushed off.
Is there anything I can do to help?

Been mostly offline so wanted to clear up some matters:
-Experts I talked to thoroughly discredit the no-dark-energy claim (see: journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…)
-Big red flags w/ the team alleging a fifth force/new boson
quantamagazine.org/new-boson…
-The Feynman thing is just complicated

Stood 2 feet away from @maroon5 performing at the #SiebelSocialConf tonight (!!!!)
It finally feels like going to get a PhD was worth it?! @SiebelScholars – at Chicago, IL
