If your workload did not (significantly) decrease over the past seven years, odds are you will be replaced by a robot -- or by someone who knows how to use one.

We must reject the Gordon/Vollrath view that stagnation is normal, healthy, and a sign of success. It is a sign of dysfunction. The US is still a dirt poor country compared to what is possible. We have not already discovered all the useful inventions.

Patrick says fastgrants.org has received a lot of good applications. It will be interesting to see if making decisions in 48 hours based on a 30-minute application yields worse research than the current excruciating grant application process. I bet it doesn't.

We just paid multiple phone bills, filled up a few gas tanks, a couple grocery carts and provided 3,000 meals to Washtenaw County via food gatherers. 🙌🏼 @flowed3d I hope the piece brings you as much joy in receiving it as it has for me in letting it go.

While not technically alive, there's an evil genius to viruses that never ceases to amaze me. It's one reason I became a virologist. A recent Nature paper reveal a remarkable trick SARS-Cov-2 learned that makes it nastier than the first SARS. Both viruses…

Huge debt of gratitude to everybody who boosted this, it got a lot of balls rolling. We're gearing up to save some lives.
I've been working on an N95 mask production project with a team for about a week now. We just got off the phone with NIOSH. They told us that approval for a new mask production facility in the US will take at minimum 45 days, but more likely 90. A lot of people are gonna die.

I went to Whole Foods this morning and discovered that from 8-9 AM they allow only people over 60 to enter. I have to say that Millennial-free shopping was delightful: Everyone was nice and slow and humming Cat Stevens tunes. When the crisis is over, can we keep this part?

This is the rejection letter for the work that just won the Nobel Prize. Don’t stop believing! I should save all of mine and maybe one day some stranger will think it’s an amazing relic and tweet it...

Google Scholar seems to be altering scholarly citation patterns. Citations are getting more concentrated: the same few papers get cited over and over, @jevinwest has found. People lazily cite whatever papers the search engine ranks highly. #metascience2019

It's the 200th anniversary of the bicycle! When 1st invented, it was called a "running machine." Soon after it was a called a "dandy horse."
Wow! Shape-shifting radiator that'll remove/retain heat on small satellites uses the art of origami as inspiration! go.nasa.gov/2kjrCSj
