You should never feel embarrassed about asking questions in classes. There are no wrong questions, and your professors are supposed to be patient enough to answer them. It doesn’t matter if you’re shy, go ahead and make your question. You can also email your professors or you could use their office hours to ask them. Besides, your questions can also help other people from the class who might have the same doubts.

films finally came in today and I am so in love with them !!!

students emailing teachers vs teachers responding.

me: oh, mighty professor, bearer of knowledge infinitely superior to mine, I humbly beg thee to answer my lowly cries for help interpreting the sacred texts which I, but a small pupil of your elite occupation, dutifully study at your excellency's demand. pray tell, will you condescend to clarify, when the moment pleases you, to which of my meager mathematical calculations does this elaborate visual diagram apply?

professor: 12 & 13 sry bout thst.

what people think it means to be a scientist: “i have all the answers!”

what it actually means to be a scientist: “this is maybe the answer but i can’t say anything for sure because we don’t really know all that much, and even though statistics might be useful in determining our confidence in the significance of results, they often don’t capture the nuance of the actual data, which in turn doesn’t capture the nuance of real life, because the double-edged sword of controlled experiments is that these parameters don’t actually exist anywhere in nature, and they’re only implemented to manage the complexities of the world and to fit them into a model that we can actually test!! and all results are generalizations, when in fact, each case is unique and often unmeasurable. and most things we measure can’t be measured, so we have to fall back on proxies, which might not tell the whole story!! i don’t know anything!!! i mean, i can say this one specific thing with statistical confidence, but not with any real confidence??? i’m sorry???? also where’s the free coffee at this conference????”

Famous authors while naming characters

Jane Austen: “I am going to create a character who is an avant-garde of elegance and is such a pleasant,lovely creature that even the heroine looks up to her and (in a high-pitched, lilting voice) I am going to name her Jane.”

On the other hand, Fyodor Dostoevsky: “ I am going to create the most wretched, ugliest, womanizing buffoon that is a horrible father and is, without a doubt, most rotten man of the rogues and (in a rather deep, husky, lilting tone) I am going to name him Fyodor.”
