Yeah, I was speaking more to the "I have a career despite the barriers in my way, not because I was strong enough to overcome them" comment.

She's basically admitting she didn't actually overcome any obstacle to get her position, that she merely lucked into it.
If she isn't capable of overcoming said barriers to her having a career in science, then honestly should she even be a fucking scientist?

At best she's a lab jockey who at least has some hands-on duties. However, I am almost wondering if she's not a humanities/social "science" chameleon disguising itself as a hard-scientist.
No fucking way this bitch is a field biologist.

Her undergrad was a 4 year course offered by Edinburgh Uni. It is generic science for two years, then you specialise in something for the last two. She chose to specialise in immunology, but touts herself as an "immunologist". She basically did the STEM equivalent of GED in degree form, then specialised for the final two years. She then did a PhD, then a post doc which was cut short, and lucked into a job in the US by meeting the person who runs her lab, Masonic Medical Research Institute in Utica at a conference. (Masonic, there's a goddamn shocker).

She's planning on binge eating her way across NY when she gets her driving license, I can't wait to see how goddamn fat she gets. She's already a heifer who photoshops out her chins in her photos and her arms are bigger than my thighs.

But yeah, to answer your question, she has a STEM degree, but a shit tier one tailored to people who wuvv da science and can't commit to a full four year degree specialising in one particular subject.

It's deffo a woman. Complete with uterus. it has endo which is in no way made worse at all by her weight guise.


Further edit for clarity: she is a prolific liar and historical revisionist, she's been on Twitter for over a decade now, and will often recycle the same events but change the narrative on them. Currently she is on a "Ah Wuvv Ma Mama!!" bent, but a number of years back she was constantly rage tweeting when she had to visit home because her Mum was, according to her, a complete alcoholic. We've also in the last decade had a "My Dad is Australian and I have dual citizenship" arc, and a "I failed ALL my exams at school!!" arc which is weird because her Live Journal (under the same name) says otherwise.


She just lies. All the time. About everything. Which again, to me, calls into question her integrity as a scientist. Sometimes, I disagree with my GP, for example. But despite that, I know they have always been honest with me, so while we may butt heads at times, I at least respect and appreciate their candour. if the people researching covid are pathological liars with mental wide-ons for the CCP, we are in deep shit.

Edit for LOLs: Here's her Live Journal. Sometimes, the best medicine is a really good, long, hard belly laugh.

What has happened to people thinking critically about things? It just feels like the extent of what people know is restricted to headlines, and if the media consensus is X then it must be X. Has it always been this way, and I'm only just noticing, or are things worse now?

muuh delta strain is from India. You know, where we were told they had a shit hot vaccination programme? So, either, 1. Non-sterilising vaccines are a terrible idea and cause premature mutation and people getting them are retards and causing this or 2. It's a steaming crock of bullshit and they're lying, using this to whip up hysteria and terrify people.

Yeah, the same strain India has got under control via medical treatment (who crushed their latest spike)

All the dentists around me are booked up solid for the next month. I had to go back up north to see my old dentist for a cracked tooth. I think I'll just stick with him in future. He has a secretary who actually listens instead of getting pissy at you for daring to interrupt her facebook time.

I had comments to the effect that I had neglected going to the dentist (in the same way as a jewish mom would censure their kids for not visiting). Then during the appointment, the hygienist told me off for not flossing and my brushing must be bad or had bad eating habits ... went on for 30 minutes like that.

I tried to keep a straight face while being guilt nagged (like when I was a kid)

Okay damn now you make me feel bad because most STEM degrees in the US work like that, to some extent.

So do most degrees in the EU/UK already have you taking 3000/4000+ level specialization courses in your first two years?

Hey, sorry, I didn't mean to. As I understand it, US degrees more give you that first year to settle into college then pick a major? And unlike Scottish ones, the honours is built into it, rather than a dedicated year tacked on at the end, so US degrees, you have to work consistently hard all the way through. Which you do not with Scottish ones.

And yeah, normal degrees in England/Scotland, you go straight into what you want to study, England it's three years with the honours for the classification (1, 2:2, 2:2 and 3) built in from the outset, so you need to work hard all through, with Scotland the Honours is a seperate year at the end. So Scottish degrees are kind of shit tier, as you can coast for 3 years, barely pass, then get an honours at the end.

Ehh depends on the major. With a liberal arts degree or something like "sports medicine" you can get away with taking a year to decide.
Otherwise "a year to settle & decide" is just a money-pot for "pay for an early bonus year of college". Because any STEM degree, and even a more rigorous non-STEM like Econ is going to eat up all all 4 years without taking off-season classes.

Okay, that makes more sense.
In the US its similar but more mixed. So like 1st year you would be taking 2-3 classes in your major, usually 1000-level, and then a bunch of "core classes" (not necessarily related to your major, but most are (like for biology they want a lot of chemistry & statistics)); then 2nd year its finishing up those "core classes" and moving into necessary major classes (2000-level), the kind that are "pre-requisites" for those upper-level courses. Then 3rd & 4th year its almost entirely specialized classes in your major, usually 3000-4000 level. This is also when you would get involved with undergrad research.

Otherwise now that you explain it, it makes more sense and sounds like the systems aren't that different.

I like how they're calling it DELTA STRAIN, which sounds like a super-scary lethal plague straight from science fiction. Was "South African variant" or "Indian variant" not scary enough? They couldn't be any more transparent in how they traffic in straight-up fear porn but I guess it works when common knowledge of pandemics is the zombie apocalypse and that one flash game where you level up a virus so it can finally infect Madagascar.

Problem is, the super deadly "delta strain" isn't actually so super deadly and the symptoms are pretty much indistinct from bad hay fever or any other common cold. It is to actual super deadly plagues what a 13 year old on Xbox Live named xXxSa7an1cRe4p3r666xXx is to a veteran hitman for a drug cartel or the Clinton family. What a joke.

I agree with all of this. My take on it is the winter Flu, which didn't hit us last year because of lockdowns and covid, is going to bite us all in the arse this year. I can see those who are vaccined having a compromised immune system vs Flu/Cold. Look how bad hayfever is this summer.

I think there's something to this. Wearing masks decreases your exposure to allergens, but when you stop wearing masks, it's all going to bite you in the ass because your body has no idea how to react. I've been hearing complaints about allergies from people I know are good obedient mask people. Sucks to be them, but they brought it on themselves by obeying the government's foolish laws. I don't believe in mask bullshit and pretty much 100% avoided it, and my allergies have been perfectly normal this year.

Edit. My workplace doesn't care about vaccines, but a number of my colleagues this week got the first one. I'm a woman, and I've come on suddenly and extremely heavily, and three weeks early this afternoon. Has anyone heard of this? Two of my female colleagues have had this happen, but they've had the vaccine. I have not had it, and won't.

This is extremely out of character for me and goes way against how I am normally. This has never happened to me in the whole time I've been getting periods. I know it's TMI but there's not really anywhere I can ask about this.

I think they went changed the variants to Greek names because people would point out, "You said we couldn't say 'China virus' but these variant names are okay?"

Alternative theory: They are getting ahead of the curve before the California and New York variants achieve significant spread outside their respective states. Because calling it the Cali or NY variant might break the conditioning.

Especially the New York variant if the preliminary reports are true that its more resistant to the vaccines.

But. But the FDA says NOT to treat COVID with Ivermectin! Surely they wouldn't lie!

www.fda.gov

Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19

Using the Drug ivermectin to treat COVID-19 can be dangerous and even lethal. The FDA has not approved the drug for that purpose.

Dude, I love the CDC still trying to pretend like people give a fuck. I would say for 80-90% of the population, COVID is straight up over now. It's just a matter of wearing masks when we legally have to, and even that is trailing off because people aren't paid enough to enforce that shit.
