I am surprised reading about PhD stipend discourse tonight. The time spent in the lab at Berkeley and UCSF was a PRIVILEGE. Having access to state-of-the-art platforms, transgenic colonies and what felt like unlimited reagents was beneficial for training, not an hourly wage.
A $51,000 annual stipend, combined with free tuition and health insurance, produces a total annual compensation package exceeding $100,000. In exchange, students work approximately 20 hours per week for say four 14-week semesters over five years. This amounts to just 1,120 hours of work over the entire five-year period, yielding an effective hourly compensation of more than $450 -- over 18 times the median hourly wage of an American worker. Even if you write off the free tuition, this wage is around 9x that of the median US worker.
Not to mention that you walk away with a Harvard PhD when all is said and done. Good work if you can get it.

Watched it again. Just incredible to get this level from an actor on a Disney+ MCU miniseries. I fear Doomsday is going to disappoint.
VisionQuest penultimate episode is so good. The writing is so elegant, levels of self discovery and tying the storyline together for a confrontation with Ultron (or Ultron's "father" The Client???). “I am the Vision. I have always been the Vision. There is only one, and I am he"

They really need to play an additional round at Regionals of this size and larger. Assym thresholds are not effective.

Hopefully they will have PTCGL on it so @Goomy35Fan can play.
JUST IN: Maryland officials unanimously approve a $1.4 billion Sphere entertainment venue near Washington, D.C., with plans to open by 2030.

Unfortunately I thought Caleb and Nathan were different seeds and they can't meet in the finals

Lily synchro season is underway. This is the first year on this new team which is the highest team her club offers. Some really talented young ladies on this team. It goes from 13 (Lily) to 18. They will put 4 months of work into one 3 minute routine.
