The Best Scientists 🧵

I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑‍🔬

Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆

And everybody respects them.

OR…

How utterly embarrassing for @SenEricSchmitt. I would think that a former prosecutor would know to be more careful before rolling out fantastical allegations.

Amy Klobuchar refused to let this go, returning to it after questioning and calling on Eric Schmitt to apologize for his remarks about Jack Smith. “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team — which I knew, knowing my Midwestern sports — and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”
