Collide students together at high energies. But then there's all those human-subjects regs. Poo. I believe that would be acceptable if you labeled it Phys Ed.

Cancer Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Received by the Core Curriculum office (identifying data suppressed): Quote Hello University Core Curriculum Committee, I have heard that Professor (xxxxx) has proposed a (yyyyy) course about medicinal Canabis. I am extremely interested in this course and hope that you approve the curriculum. I am very tempted to respond, "You misspelled 'Oh wow, man.'" I suppose that labels me by age, however.

Cancer Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 ... I'll let someone who lived through the Nineties respond to that. I survived that decade, in a semiconscious sleep-deprived new parent sort of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 So, Looks like I have at least one of a partnership who realized after leaving lab that their data were completely bollixed, and then tried obfuscation in their writeup to conceal it. So, I get to convey to them (1) that's fraud, and (2) that's a "Take him out and hang him" offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
