I am currently an adjunct assistant prof. at the same university that I earned my PhD at in August. To complete my hire, they just made me pay them $10 so that they could send the official transcripts...to themselves. This is what academia is.

Great advice.
Yale School of Public Health@YaleSPH26 Oct 2020
Dr. Anthony Fauci lays out three ways future scientific communicators can build trust: 1) Always go by the data 2) Admit when you don't know something 3) The goal is not to show how smart you are. It's to get people to understand what you're talking about. #FauciAtYale
