I killed about 30 mice today because I made a mistake on my spreadsheet and we didn't need them.

I brought an extra 30 mice into existence who's only purpose in life was for me to kill.

Isn't animal research amazing?



It actually isn't like it was in 2016 though. It only looks that way if you don't actually follow the polls.

Since 2016 models have been updated to be more favorable to Trump by including education as a predictive factor where it wasn't before, they have also increased weighting of rural voters.
Additionally, Biden's lowest national lead is the same as Hillary's was at it's peak. So the best Hillary has ever done is the worst Biden has ever done. He's so much further ahead in polling than Hillary was.
And lastly, polls the week of the election had Trump winning within margin of error, so the polls were accurate.

The lesson from polling in 2016 is that polls are largely accurate, but are only a snapshot, and the only ones that are predictive are the ones immediately before election day, as events can change voting attitudes pretty quickly.

A drop in the bucket honestly.

We're breeding together mice with 3 genes we need so ive killed at least a few hundred along the way to a stable colony.

Yay mouse work!

This is definitely more suited to you than treating patients. :thumbsup:

The patient part was actually the easiest part of medical school.

Working at a call center diagnosing phones is the exact same skill set for diagnosing a patient, just there's more that can go wrong with a human body.

Also I'm pretty sure it's just the school I attended as to why I absolutely hated it. After I left about 20% of my class also dropped out which is absolutely not normal. Hard to choose schools when you can't sample them. Sucks, but oh well. I can always try to go back some day if I want to.

My wife during her masters was assistant lab manager throughout her masters. One day she felt horrible, so I naturally had to probe what was wrong. Somehow she put all the labs tadpoles in salt water.

I chuckled.
