In moments like these, it's never clearer that the majority of political commentators don't have values - they have allegiances
Very few 'commentators' are actually consistent and coherent in their arguments. Instead, they adopt whatever narrative suits their tribe at the time
Academia is bathsit
Journal editor: Can you review this paper
Me: no, sorry. No capacity at the moment & I'm not really in academia, so reviewing less & less. Try x,y,z
Journal editor: You failed to properly respond to my email as you didn't click the link & select a response

Ah, it’s that time of year when Jeremy Clarkson reminds us that you don’t need academic qualifications to succeed in life. Just a very expensive education and high value social networks.
The challenge isn't shouting from the sidelines what everyone should be doing...
The real challenge is being on the pitch and directly influencing the game

It would be extremely dangerous for less experienced and less prepared climbers and trekkers to believe that the use of xenon would allow them to forgo proper physical and medical preparation and acclimatization when going to high mountain regions.

Pleased to have my first research project from my PhD accepted for publication
Unpopular opinion...
This is such a joke.
The time limit has been known for months
If teams cannot plan for this with performance strategies, then they should be at a disadvantage and in danger of their riders going home OTL.

The UIAA Medical Commission recommends against the use of xenon inhalation in preparation for or during expeditions to high altitude unless part of a controlled study with appropriately qualified medical support such as anesthesia personnel.

Someone into stats needs to do a short video on why the differences between the (2 or 3) very very best are greater than the inter-individual difference amongst the (still elite) next tier down.
Spoiler - it's all about the tails!
How was beditme... well my toddler got annoyed that his grandparents are his mum's parents and not just his grandparents!
Going to the swimming pool on a rainy Sunday was not my best ever idea…
30mins queue to get in with my toddler shouting ‘out the way…I want swimming’
🙈😅
