absolutely. I wouldn't call anything "punishments." Really just irritations, which are manageable.
I'd never heard of the degree before I actually went to Berkeley. Certainly it doesn't need to be in the name of the thread! But I didn't start...
I think it's rather unlikely that NICE 2021 would have happened without the added pressure and public dissemination of the information that the...
Exactly. That is the same thing as saying it made a big difference in proving the case to other people.
