Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne will resign effective Aug. 31. He will also retract or issue lengthy corrections to five widely cited papers for which he was principal author after a Stanford-sponsored investigation found “manipulation of research data.”

      You should feel bad for him. He’s lost everything. All he has left is the millions he’s made.

      You can’t blame him for that one.
      Btw I dated a biochemist and they’re all insane.

        Is it from all the biochemicals? I think it is from all the biochemicals.

          Don’t forget the regular chemicals. Though I’m a bioanalytical chemist, so I likely use more of those than a typical biochemist.

        Studied biochemistry as a major, currently am a microbiology grad student. Biochemistry attracts a certain type of person. Imagine smashing your head against a brick wall. That’s how it feels like to do biochemistry.

        People who do biochemistry are brilliant but wow, they’re intense. At least they’re not evolutionary ecologists.

        Never have I ever strangled my roommate, poisoned my advisor for suggesting I go into a different branch of physics, and created a weapon that deletes entire metropolitan areas.

        Two out of three of those, **at most.
