Okay Madhavan & 'Arya Iyer' is at least quite acceptable. Though it's not necessary to add 'Iyer' to show that someone is a classy dude.
But it shows complete lack of cultural understanding when Dhanush is cast as Vishwanath Iyer (this has nothing to do with Dhanush's looks / acting, background or anything) - I'm talking about the way the character has been written.
On one hand they wanna completely diss & make fun of Tambrahms like in most Tamil movies.
On the other hand, when the so called 'smart' filmmakers try to portray Tambrahms, they mess up so bad by exaggerating or completely missing it.
Some good Southern Characters in non-Tamil movies I can think of:
All the cast in Family Man (literally everyone was spot-on
Madras Cafe (the one with John Abraham)
Thoughts?
I was wondering if I could get some perspective from attending cardiologists. I’m a first year fellow and did the minimum necessary research to get in, but it isn’t my passion. I love that other people find fulfillment in getting published and furthering the field, but I went to medical school because I wanted to spend the majority of my time working with patients. I even chose a program that didn’t heavily emphasize research for this very reason.
But over the past few months, the leadership seems to be steering the program to be more research focused. They expect at least one QI project (which is totally fine, I’m happy to do a small project, but for me it would be to check a box). The majority of faculty have been exclusively academic in their careers, so they take research as a given. My ultimate goal is to go into private practice and not do a lick of research once I’m graduated and I’m scared to admit that I plain just don’t want to do it during fellowship.
I’m struggling with whether to be transparent with my program director so that we are all on the same page (happy to do a small project but otherwise not much interested in research) or if I should just keep my head down, get the project done and just ignore the subtle hints and requests for more research. I feel like being honest would be best, but I don’t want to be labeled a problem child or lazy. I guess my real question is, is it ok to admit I don’t want to do research or is this like saying I don’t feel like showing up on time to work?
Especially when it's something you could just as easily gloss over/handwave/make something up for.
Or it just winds up not even making it into the damn story at all because it turns out things have changed with your story, so now the situation which called for you to research the shit out of that itty bitty detail is no longer present.
(I say because I got sidetracked for like two hours yesterday afternoon researching Greyhound buses, where their stations are located, how long it takes them to travel from point A to point B, and where the stations are located relative to where I wanted my protagonist to depart from and arrive at. And then calculated the amount of time it'd take for him to get from where he was dropped off to the general area of his destination... which I just made up anyway.)
Wtf
If it was affordable, would you hydro dip your firearm into a pattern of your choosing (be it camo or whatever).
For those who don't know, hydro dipping is a form of water transfer printing. Meaning, you use a film to apply a pattern on almost any surface. If done professionally, will last forever.
Feel free to check my latest post for an example.
Someone (thanks u/xximadukxx) on r/math see here asked the same question and I thought it could be interesting in the physics subreddit as well. Maybe some of you want to give it a shot! And as Einstein already said: "If you can't explain in simply, you don't understand it well enough.". Have fun, I'm very curious for your answers.
So here it is:
This question is meant to mimic the video concept by Wired (see here for examples) where a particular expert attempts to explain their research in terms that 5 different layers of complexity. Just as a summary, the five different layers are:
A child
A teenager
An undergrad majoring in the same subject (for our purposes it would probably be more interesting to generalize this to undergrad STEM majors assuming that they have taken the general courses of physics and mathematics)
A grad student
And a colleague
One of the purposes is to allow anyone to watch the video and have the ability to take something away from it, which I think would be really interesting to have mathematicians do. Math has a somewhat notorious reputation for being very esoteric and misunderstood, so I feel as if the sharing of thoughts would be beneficial. I'd like for this to gain traction so please try to share it around with others so that we can get as many responses as possible!
I have taken up a research project at the moment which is very traumatising, and very relevant to contemporary political events around the world (women and race) which makes it all the more worrying. I find myself getting burnt out and exhausted very easily, and I find I am slowly becoming less productive after a very productive start.
How do you deal with traumatic subjects in research, especially when that work takes up majority of your day?
Hi, I’m Katy Hayward, Senior Research Fellow at the think tank ‘UK in a Changing Europe’ and Professor of Political Sociology at Queen’s University Belfast.
My research for UK in a Changing Europe centres upon the post-Brexit status and future of Northern Ireland, with a particular focus on the Irish land and sea borders. As an organisation we aim to make big and complex issues like these understandable and accessible to as large an audience as possible.
Northern Ireland and the Irish border have been the cause of a lot of discussion and debate in the Brexit process – and this year has not been a quiet one! It started with the roll-out of the Protocol, and, with it, new checks and controls on goods entering NI from Britain. Early on, some were calling for safeguard measures to be triggered in the form of Article 16 – and these calls have grown over time. Now, in a sign of continued UK-EU tensions over Northern Ireland, Lord Frost himself is holding his finger over this particular red button.
And there have been tensions of all sorts in Northern Ireland politics too. We could have expected these, it being the centenary of the creation of Northern Ireland and the partition of the island of Ireland. However, the divisions are not just green and orange, but also within unionism itself. Arlene Foster was given little choice by her own party but to resign as First Minister. And the flux and tensions in the leadership of unionism were seen in different form on the ground, including in the riots in some loyalist communities in the spring.
We in UK in a Changing Europe have explained these issues, the causes and even the options for managing them – through, for example, a number of articles, reports, the UK in a Changing Europe podcast and panel events on public opinion in NI, as well as regular commentary for UK media. We even have a new [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgdcnjCaA_8&am

Highly appreciate it and thanks in advance, have a good day
P.S. you may answer based on your expected thoughts or experience even though if have not bought any Microsoft products.

I always feel like I'm going to end up on a watchlist or something for the stuff I research on Google! This year my story idea is going to be pretty dark with paranormal components, with scenarios I have no firsthand experience in, so I'm going to have to look up quite a bit. I already feel like I'm going to get in trouble for some of the things I need to look up!
- How to run a meth lab (and how to hide that you're running one)
- How a meth lab could possibly blow up (I have watched Breaking Bad, but I don't want to copy anything from the show).
- How to survive while on the run with no money
- Theories about BigFoot
Yeah, this novel is going to be WEIRD.
Hi everyone! I am doing a research project for one of my classes about sleep. One of my questions is how having a sleep disorder affects your ability to gain anything from other protective factors of sleep quality. Essentially, even though you have a sleep disorder, can other good sleep practices still help you as much as they help those who do not have a sleep disorder. I would very much appreciate it if you took this survey for me! It is only 14 questions, mostly multiple choice. Just answer based on what would normally or on average be part of your sleep routine or practices. Thank you in advance!
Here's the link for the survey's form:
If you have any question please ask on the comment below, thank you!
