The tell is that a PhD position in the sciences that's worth anything is fully funded - the PI has grants that he will use to pay his graduate students. This isn't about undergrad education, it's about graduate level studies.
The point is that you don't have to compete with low production budget TV anymore , you have to compete with high quality, limitless and free youtube videos
Your value proposition has to be good.
Cinema is still around because it offers a good experience and exclusivity ( while you can see a film online the day after it came out of the cinema the quality is really bad)
I think you're misinterpreting the second tweet, I read it as "I can't publish a preprint myself since I'm not the only one working on it now, and my team doesn't feel our work is ready for publication". Of course it can still be bullshit but it makes sense that a biochemist doesn't have the means to test this material and that a credible physics institute wouldn't want to rush publication if they aren't sure of their results.
I believe she said it wasn't a replication because she had changed the formula.
She seemed to have problems with the efficiency of the original formula, which is why I believe she doesn't believe it's replication what she produced may in the end not be LK-99.
It seems like she's in the process of getting X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) done.
There has been several fake videos placed out there on the Internet.
There is a quote by jay-z I'll paraphrase
"
Men lie
Women lie
But replicable science don't lie.

The mixture of USSR tweets has patriotic Americans so ruffled that some can't see through their disbelief and rage.

Yes, it isn't replication, and the only proof that her modified substance does anything interesting is a photo of a single grain suspended inside a small tube. She hasn't written anything clarifying the process from her vague twitter thread, she hasn't posted a video showing the sample's behavior (which would be better than nothing), she hasn't shown any measurements, and when people ask for these things, she gives unconvincing excuses.
And yet every thread is full of people saying she was the first to replicate. The USSR tweets are a little eyerolling but not the main issue
huh lol ... Well she obviously has the time to tweet a lot of sh*t while being much faster than any other team on earth. She alone from the USSR must still be the primary (progressive) power worldwide ... who knows ...
It’s a meme now on his channel that he works for the CIA given his recent travels et al.
He made a funny video about taking the “test” on the CIA’s website which was an online game for kids (a really weird thing to exist when I stop and think about it).
Being good at making money with Walmart has nothing to do with whether Walmart destroys small towns. Number of small businesses destroyed is probably a positive metric for Walmart.
What I mean is that he cared about things beyond making money. Early Walmarts were good places to work for and shop at. They were genuinely good for the communities they came to. And they didn't have enough power yet to dictate insane terms to their suppliers either. Back then, they were way better than the alternatives like Kmart and JCPenny's.
I say this as someone who grew up in rural Minnesota (a town of less than 10k), and when Walmart came to my town it mattered a lot to the whole town.
But this stopped being true by the mid-90s (about ten years after he died).
