    [–] The academic metabolism pathway NerdBell 1 points ago in PhD

    Oh cool, I didn't realize! Where did you source your stats?

    [–] The academic metabolism pathway NerdBell 15 points ago in PhD

    And the yields on all these steps are abysmal, too :)

    [–] I still struggle with modesty even several years out. Always feel strange even in tank tops. Took a huge risk and wore this dress to my (nevermo) friend's wedding. Felt so out of place. Baby steps? NerdBell 2 points ago in exmormon

    Fair! I honestly joined the leggings-plus-dresses-with-pockets brigade years ago and don't often bother with jeans. Leggings are so comfy! And lots of A-line or full-skirted dresses have pockets these days :)

    [–] Can anyone tell me more about this bell I found in my barn? It reads "J. Warner & Sons Bells 1908" NerdBell 1 points ago in bells

    Yes! Warner & Sons are a fairly well-known foundry that have cast several rings of bells: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Warner_%26_Sons

    ​

    You can sell this bell to the Keltek trust. They do amazing work "re-homing" bells, much to the happiness of ringers everywhere! Here's their contact information, taken from their ad in The Ringing World.

    [–] I still struggle with modesty even several years out. Always feel strange even in tank tops. Took a huge risk and wore this dress to my (nevermo) friend's wedding. Felt so out of place. Baby steps? NerdBell 3 points ago in exmormon

    You could also try petite sized pants! It doesn't mean they're small, just shorter :)

    [–] PhD in Underwater Basket Weaving? NerdBell 2 points ago in PhD

    A top 5 University in CS. I did, however, do a master's in computational biology after undergrad so it wasn't exactly a straight path!

    [–] PhD in Underwater Basket Weaving? NerdBell 3 points ago in PhD

    My undergrad was in Chemistry and I've just been accepted to a CS PhD program.

    [–] [MN] A girl is planning to claim I am the father of her baby when we never had sex NerdBell 228 points ago in legaladvice

    OP is in Minnesota, not Montana. The abbreviation of Montana is MT.

    [–] What is my role as a journal club presenter? NerdBell 1 points ago in GradSchool

    Do you have to present your first week? If you can listen to how your new JC club presents papers you'll probably get a good idea!

    [–] This Friday night things to do for a person struggling to stay sober NerdBell 1 points ago in boston

    Good luck!

    [–] This Friday night things to do for a person struggling to stay sober NerdBell 1 points ago in boston

    Make sure to book 2+ weeks in advance; this is their busy time of year and they need extra warning to get 2 people in at once. Source: tried and failed to book for my anniversary with my bf with a week's notice, had to rebook for Feb

    [–] Will an ASA credential with no experience positively or negatively impact my internship prospects? (Not job prospects) NerdBell 5 points ago in actuary

    As a somewhat off-topic note, unless you're not in the US, a master's degree is not a great way forward to become a professor. A PhD (and generally, in math, a postdoc) is absolutely required and you may as well get started sooner rather than later...

    [–] Don't fall for tax preparers' advertising an advance on your refund based on your last paycheck of the year. NerdBell 2 points ago in personalfinance

    Sadly, the 1040-EZ is being phased out (on mobile, sorry no link)

    [–] Should I sell my house in SoCal? NerdBell 2 points ago in personalfinance

    Part of the problem was also the undue stress it would put on rural hospitals in MA. While MGH and BWH and other big hospitals would complain but ultimately pull through, it would have been incredibly damaging to small rural hospitals like North Adams Regional. And many of these hospitals already have limits at least in the ICU...

    But then, the hospitals claim there's a nursing shortage and the nurses say it's hard to get a job so who knows.

    [–] Mormons name their kids like they are trying to find a username that hasn't been taken. NerdBell 16 points ago in exmormon

    Joke was on the students: that's often how you pronounce Nephi in romance languages.

    [–] Sister Dew told Mr. Rubin that he would have a hard time finding a church where more women have more authority than in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. NerdBell 3 points ago in exmormon

    Well, about 50% of millennials are men and might not see it as easily...

    [–] Wedding games??? NerdBell 2 points ago in Weddingsunder10k

    Bacio is kiss in Italian, so maybe you just got mixed up :)

    [–] Wholesome dad at queer event NerdBell 27 points ago in wholesomememes

    Sex* is biological. And even then, intersex individuals exist...

    [–] Need ideas on intellectual fodder outside of work NerdBell 3 points ago in GradSchool

    If you live in a major city, trying change ringing could be really fun! It's about ringing bells in permutations rather than in tunes. I find it a friendly community, a rewarding hobby, and a pleasant flow-state escape. :)

    [–] Popular Unisex Names Over Time (US 1980-2017) [OC] NerdBell 2 points ago in dataisbeautiful

    Yes, but Ashley was actually originally a male name.

    [–] A new study shows that the reason why a majority (76%) of us struggle to solve statistical problems is because of fixed mindset: we tend to stick with the familiar methods we previously learned in school, which could blind us to the existence and application of potentially simpler solutions. NerdBell 1 points ago in science

    Seconding the recommendation for Innumeracy! The book, not the state of being :) A great read.

    [–] Computational Biology MPhil NerdBell 1 points ago in cambridge_uni

    International students can do part III. Feel free to message me; I did the compbio MPhil and was an international student at Cambridge.

    [–] What's the most reasonable way to travel to Heathrow for a morning flight? NerdBell 1 points ago in cambridge

    I've taken the bus a time or two and it's always been fine. It is an early morning, though :/ if you're not checking any bags you can be more loose on timing.

    [–] Adult session of stake conf (in heart of Morridor): *VERY* poorly attended, and approx. 50% in their 70, or older. NerdBell 11 points ago in exmormon

    It's also a reference to the geographical "Mormon corridor" --> "Morridor" that goes through Utah, Idaho, to some extent Montana. The similar sound to "Mordor" is a delightful extra ;)

    [–] I just failed my degree NerdBell 20 points ago in GradSchool

    If you're at Cambridge there are some other avenues you might not yet have looked into. Have you tried to get your College to lobby for you? Sometimes a Chaplain will be willing to put in a good word... What college are you at?

    Based on some of your earlier posts I think I know what program you did -- I did it a few years back. S.E. may be willing to vouch for you too. Feel free to contact me directly.
