Did we wear white at FIU in 2011, like the picture shows? (I missed the game for my cousin's wedding and had to follow on the phone.) Or did ESPN find some random Duke football picture to attach to the article? :9f:

Couldn't get it to open. Since you posted it, I'll assume it was either brilliant or hilarious. Take your pick.
Can he pick both?
All of the above is always an option.

It appears ol roy didn't watch the Duke-Miami game. This is like deja vu all over again, except I'm enjoying it more. :duke: :9f:

It isn't easy pulling for the one team ahead of us in the ACC standings, but we have to do what we have to do.

OY is having bizarro ads again.

After being invited to find new friends in "chinesedate.com," today I was offered unc tar heels merchandise.

I think I would prefer chinesedate.com. We already have plenty of toilet paper and I don't want to get a rash. :9f:

I'm pretty psyched. I found something on Friday in our big research project that could be a big-ass discovery (in other words, bigger than big). I sent my observation to Road Runner, who forwarded the information to the head of the project (at MD Anderson), crediting me. She went a step farther and found a literature reference for something that we can look into - in other words, she found the reason that my observation might be significant. Very, very exciting stuff!

Thanks, all! I'm really excited, and this happened at a very opportune time. I'm hoping this gives me leverage to move further into Road Runner's realm, as far away from BarMinY as I can get. His attempts to discredit the type of work I do cannot hold water if we end up with a high profile publication as a result of this. I hope that his credibility with The Boss takes a hit, too.

I suspect that The Boss has been actively encouraging people to work with BarMinY rather than me, saying that my methods won't work. I'm basing this on statements made by a couple of people who were working with me but magically changed their minds and started working with BarMinY instead. The Boss' attitude toward me has changed noticeably as well, and not in a good way. I admit to being discouraged enough to consider calling PHB and asking if his job offer was still on the table. Fortunately, Road Runner is a far better scientist, and she knows I'm doing good work - but then, she also recognizes that our new colleague is a charlatan.

Congratulations! This is great news. And how wonderful that someone is willing to give credit where credit is due.

Road Runner is a senior faculty member, same department as me. So, like me, under The Boss. Great reputation nationally and internationally. Editorial board of at least one journal. Excellent scientist - maybe even better than The Boss. Miles ahead of BarMinY for sure. Good person to have on my side. The only advantage that BarMinY has is his history with The Boss. BMY is a skilled sycophant IMO and has managed to snow lots of people.

It scares me a bit that there are aspects of this situation that parallel my last situation in AR. In that case, Supervisor Barbie was in the role of BarMinY. She, too, actively worked to discredit me with the boss. There was something borderline inappropriate going on there, and that's not the case here. I also have have the advantage of having a couple of respected scientists on my side. Still, the majority of my salary comes from departmental discretionary funds, managed by The Boss. It would help tremendously if Road Runner came up with money for a chunk of my salary.

From my mouth to God's ears. I just got an email from Road Runner. Our MD Anderson collaborator is willing to pay part of my salary! :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue:
