I’d put it closer to 0/10.
I worked in the adjacent lab when I was postdoc at Princeton, and David Botstein’s influence could not be overstated. I never had a conversation with him where I didn’t learn something. He’ll be missed to be sure.

David Botstein passed away. I worked with him at Stanford for a few years in designing and teaching a course on "The Heart". My heart is heavy right now. He was a wonderful mentor.

Can my new hobby be receiving shipments of food from you?
This study, and Stephen’s write up on it as a professor actively teaching these skills, is fascinating.
I don’t *officially* teach coding skills, but I often find the difference between someone who’s good at their job and someone who’s marginal is *exactly* those skills that most decreased here.
First ever‽
Honestly, that sounds like somebody just trying to remind you why you love the place.
If only they were so passive.
The other night I dreamed I had adopted two baby ostriches.
Just thought you might want to know.
I’m sure it was online in 2000 but maybe we mailed transcripts?
