The free speech absolutists have a martyr in James Damore
@pzmyers "On his LinkedIn profile, Damore lists a “PhD, Systems Biology” from Harvard in 2013. However, a representative from Harvard tells WIRED that Damore did not complete a PhD. He completed a master’s degree in systems biology in 2013."

@bstacey Well, you know, it's hard to finish a degree when you have an aversion to lab work, and an elevated opinion of your importance.

@pzmyers Damn, I've met Jeff Gore, and I've read at least one of those papers.
Now I'm wondering if the author ordering was alphabetical.
@pzmyers ... OK, probably not, but "first author" means less when it's a two-author paper and the other is the person who runs the lab.
