Before being an appetite suppressant, it is a medication for diabetes.

The problem is not the margin Novo Nordisk makes on an appetite suppressant, contrary to what the headline says.

I think it's a more global movement.

When I was recruited at my university in the early 2000s, every teacher had an ftp-accessible space with an http address like myuni.edu/~myname. The more techie ones did html, the fancier ones even added css. Muggles would export html from a Word document.

Then one day, the IT department decided to replace this with a "learning management system". A wysiwyg platform with dozens of modules for videoconferencing courses, homework submission, online exams, and so forth.

Except that the user (the teacher) no longer has control over his or her personal space.

And there are several competing national union organizations which overlap. I don't know exactly how the other ones are organized

I'm pretty sure that if we, as a specie, stopped wasting money to kill each other, we could give food, shelter, healthcare and education to each of us.

And there would still be enough money left to found this kind of scientific projetcs.

Getting Nintendo would be a career moment for me

Who cares about your career? How could it be a justification for anything?

The first preprint was submitted 7 apr 2022. It's quite common that a scientific paper in a peer reviewed journal takes that long to be published, particularly if the reviewers ask for corrections (the final version here is the third version).

Not mentioning that research leading to an article needs time, and writing a scientific paper needs time too.
