Clinical Professor Puns

She said that it is "extremely rude" for us to ask our colleagues.

Am I hoping on a little too much that they'll go easy on me? The wait list for this externship is quite long so I got lucky with this opening and don't want to wait any longer. I'm willing to make up any work/catch up once the week is over.

It's been a while since I weighed in on anything related to SARS-CoV-2/COVID. I see many posts describing the 'on the ground' impact of the Delta variant with desperate pleas for people to get vaccinated and wear masks. I couldn't agree more with these sentiments, but I will take a bit of a different educational approach. I am in a unique position to report on what is going on with the virus itself and how it interacts with the vaccines. I'm currently the Special Assistant to the National Director of Pathology and Lab Medicine for the entire VA system, with a specific role in advising on elements of COVID testing for the system. As such, I have a front row seat to all of the latest data, as we have to use those data in making our national policy decisions. So, here are a few important points about the Delta variant that may be of acute interest along with some education and salient points about the vaccines. I'll do my best to stitch this all together to where it makes some sense:

1. The Delta variant (lineage B.1.617.2) has a particular collection of mutations in the spike protein (that knob-like projection you see in renderings of the virus) that make it extremely effective in attaching to human cells and gaining entry. If the original CoV-2 strains were covered in syrup, this variant is covered in ultra-fast drying Gorilla Super Glue (industrial strength).

2. There are two recent publications which demonstrate that the viral loads in the back of the throats of infected patients are 1000X higher with Delta variant than with previous variants. I can tell you from data in my own labs, that is absolutely true! We are seeing viral signals we NEVER saw last year using the exact same assays.

3. This much higher load PLUS the ultra-'stickiness' of the Delta strains for adhering to human cells makes it remarkably more infectious than previous strains. You may have heard of R0 (Read: R naught) which is, in a nutshell, the expected number of persons to which an infected person would be expected to transmit the virus. Early versions of the virus had a 2 to 2.5 R0 value. So one infected person would infect two or so people on average. Delta has an R0 of about 8! In the infectious disease world, that's almost unheard of. Chickenpox and Measles are about all we have ever seen that spread that efficiently from human to human. This changes the story line completely from earlier in the pandemic and makes this surge, in many ways, like a completel

"What research consistently shows," says the professor, "is that if a child enjoys killing dogs, this is a clear indicator of sociopathy".

"What if a boy enjoys killing other canids like wolves and coyotes?" asks a boy.

"Then the same principle would hold," says the professor, "but the severity of the condition would vary depending on the species".

"What if a girl enjoys killing mustelids like weasels and ferrets?" asks a girl.

"That would indicate narcissistic personality disorder," says the professor.

"What about lagomorphs like rabbits or the large-eared pika?" asks another boy.

"Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder," says the professor.

"What about rodentia (rats, mice etc.)?"

"Generalised anxiety disorder"

"Sirenia?"

"Munchausen by proxy"

"Tubulidentata?"

"Korsakoff syndrome"

"Moths?"

"You mean Lepidoptera?"

"No, why are we all moths?"

"The light was on"

As the title states: what is the average salary of a college psychology professor coming out of a PhD program in Clinical Psychology? I know accounting and finance professors routinely make around $200k first year out of a PhD program. I am curious how clinical psychology compares.

First time posting. I always like reading the 'Discussion' posts because reading about other peoples struggles and their viewpoints gives me comfort in these dire times.

Earlier this year I read an article by a professor clinical psychology (Mattias Desmet) who shares his view on why people accept lockdown measures even though they have so much impact on their prosperity and wellbeing. I feel like it really helped me understand why things are happening the way they are happening. In the article he talks about different points which I would like to share with and maybe discuss with you. The article: https://www.knack.be/nieuws/wetenschap/in-de-coronacrisis-is-de-publieke-opinie-in-de-greep-van-absurde-oordelen/article-opinion-1634377.html

Conformity In the 1950's Solomon Asch conducted experiments where he proved that peer pressure is a very powerful force. In one of his experiments he showed groups of 8 people a picture of a line and then a picture of 3 other lines (coded a,b,c) with differing lengths. One of these lines was as long as the one on the first picture. The other lines were obviously way shorter or longer than the line in the first picture. The objective for each participant was to call out loud which of the lines was as long as the one in the first picture.

In reality 7 of the 8 people were in on the experiment. They would sometimes call out the wrong answer, but when they did it, they would all say the same answer. The one real test subject often followed the group. Only 25% of the real test subjects would actually give the right answer.

After the experiment some subjects said they did know the right answer but they didn't feel comfortable going against the group. Even more interesting: some people admitted that because of peer pressure, they doubted their own judgement and actually believed the (absurd) opinion of the others to be true.

It doesn't matter how wrong the message is, if you repeat it enough in the media, people will believe it. I have heard a lot when trying to discus these things with people: ''It can't be that EVERYONE is wrong right??'' or ''They wouldn't say these things if they weren't true''. The question is, how can a message (covid is deadly and listen to us, the experts), even though it is clearly wrong (or half truth) be so convincing.

Lack of meaning in peoples lives, fear and discomfort

On why this ''crisis'' gains so much traction: there already was a sense of discomfort in peoples lives (everybody i

Thanks everyone. It's 2:00 pm Eastern, so I'm signing off.

I'm Dr Jordan B Peterson. I've spent 25 years as a clinical psychologist, professor and research scientist, first at Harvard and then at the University of Toronto. I have posted several hundred lectures on psychological, religious and (less willingly) political matters on YouTube, where they have attracted hundreds of millions of views and no little controversy. Finally, I am the author of 12 Rules for Life (https://jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-life/), which has been the best-selling book in the English-language world for the last four months, and Maps of Meaning (1999), which is coming out in audio form on June 12 (https://jordanbpeterson.com/maps-of-meaning/).

I'm currently embarked on a 12 Rules for Life lecture tour in multiple cities in the US, Canada and Europe (with many more cities to be announced soon in Europe): https://jordanbpeterson.com/events

Finally, I am the creator (with my partners) of two online programs

https://www.understandmyself.com/ https://www.selfauthoring.com/

the first of which helps people map and interpret their personalities and the second of which is a series of guided writing exercises designed to help people cope with their past, understand where they are in the present and develop a vision and a strategy for the future.

Hello, Reddit! My name is Prof. Beverley Hunt, OBE, and I am a Professor of Thrombosis and Haemostasis at King's College in London and a Consultant at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospitals. I specialize in thrombosis, haemostasis and acquired bleeding disorders. I have spent this year working on the front lines of COVID-19 in London and have worked alongside other global physicians to create guidance on treating patients with severe COVID-19 that develop blood clots. I am also the Chair of the Steering Committee for World Thrombosis Day, which is coming up on Tuesday, October 13, 2020.

I am excited to have the opportunity to talk to you about the importance of understanding the correlation between COVID-19 and blood clots. It’s a startling fact that one in four people worldwide are dying from conditions caused by thrombosis. Now, with the correlation between COVID-19 and blood clots, it is even more important to know the signs, symptoms and risk factors of blood clots. With just one week to go until World Thrombosis Day, I invite you to ask me anything!
