It has taught me to question everything we know, because it is thanks to this that great discoveries are made.

"The scientist is not the person who gives the right answers, but the one who asks the right questions" Claude Lévi-Strauss.

You can't always trust science because people are imperfect...

And just because someone published a paper or a patent on a specific reaction doesn't mean that it's going to work

True, thankfully we can usually peer review any new findings and verify their validity

Data is extremely easy to manipulate, so you can't trust ever "expert report" out there

Failure is inevitable, and every mistake is a learning opportunity. Humanity's greatest achievements are built on the back of trial and error

The interconnectedness of life.

Negative knowledge can often be as valuable as positive knowledge

I know barely anything about anything, in a good way. My knowledge is deep for my particular field, but it's very narrow and focused

That it is OK to be wrong; it's still useful data, and it will add to the experiment.

Science has taught me that there are still innumerable mysteries in our universe, things that we can neither explain nor fully understand. And with each new thing you learn, you come up with three or four new questions that never would have occurred to you if it were not for what you just observed. It's really an exciting concept to me.

We are very much like walking petri dishes. We carry so many different lifeforms on and in our bodies and each of them has its very own ecosystem; some of them can be deadly to us, which is why we need to keep our bodies in the best possible shape to fight off any attacks. It's fascinating to think that so much of what we think of as being our bodies is really just made up of millions of microorganisms.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.
