Ban is back. I like the sound of it.

Thanks.  I appreciate it,  but don't think I'll be as high flying as I was twenty years ago.

None of us are, brother... and that's probably for the best.

Actually, you trust research for the very reasons contained in the article.

If the peer review process doesn't catch it, something or someone else will.  Just happened to Stanford's President as well.

A lot?  I've been involved with science in varying capacities for about thirty years now.  By a lot, can you document something for me, preferably by percentages,  that I may not be aware of?  If so, I could find it very useful in my work.

Thanks in advance!

I'll be around for a bit yet, but in the afternoon and evening I won't be able to check in, so I'll hope to read a report in the interim.  Thanks!

It'll be later in the evening, but I'll be in no shape to read, much less write.

the problem is, in many cases the damage is done before it is found....

In the rare instances where it happens, that can be the case.  Often times, studies are done with little fanfare or utility.

Like it or lump it, the data perfectly backs up what she is saying, the context in which she's speaking.  No other groups even compare statistically.

 Yes its ok now. Racism ok. Profiling is ok.  I just saw where Joe Biden signed an executive order to that effect.

We should be profiling, monitoring and creating policies to fight against the radicalization of politicians in Washington DC. There I fixed it. Data actually shows this.
