I highly doubt that it's the dad we debated last night. I can't imagine someone with 8+ years of higher education writing that badly, even 4 scotches deep.

I can believe it. Scientists can't write for shit. (Sorry scientists on the board.)

Some of us do okay. Some of us make it to high school before they learn that "well" does not have an H in it*.
I'm always tickled when someone resurrects a long dead topic with nonsense. Say what you will about springs1, but at least she's timely.

FTFY.
That's two.....
C'mon, someone else DO IT! I mean, it's not ranch dressing, but this is clearly a case of *****************************NOT FAIR**************************

I don't know. I have 9 years of higher ed and I write like crap after a few drinks and on my phone.
"It has been my experience that reporters are not as interested in linking Lauren with ‘just’ a graduate student, rather they think it makes a way better headline to relate Lauren’s work to a ‘real professor’." (ie. Albrey himself) WTF right there.
This statement is so typical of many people academia though, it's not that surprising. Grad students aren't fully scientists yet after all.
My brother was working on his MA in history and was told by his douchebag thesis advisor that he couldn't call himself a real historian without a graduate degree. (My counter argument would have been the existence of David McCullough.) My brother's argument was that he was already an internationally published author and had sought peer review from a top historian in his specific field who is a full professor at a school in Ontario, who found his thesis to be perfectly acceptable and close to publishable.
This from a guy who admitted he had looked up 0 of the citations in the thesis.

this. so much this. I send a lot of my papers to friends with English or History degrees to proofread. I can't tell you how many times I have to re-read a paper to figure out what they're concluding.
This is basically my job. Except I also get to fact check and rewrite/position. Good news is the young scientists are actually much better writers than their senior peers. I think they've had to become better communicators and more persuasive in order to get funding.
Maybe I wasn't clear. How do you know that the daughter had any knowledge of Jud's research? Because there's just the outside chance that she didn't have a subscription to Aquatic Biology because, since she's 12, her subscription won't start until 2020.
So, by "the father's a dick" I'm saying, that he probably knew about Jud's research and should have done more (I don't know what, we don't actually KNOW that the 12-year-old didn't cite Jud, but I'm willing to believe she didn't) but the idea that the 12-year-old plagiarized is silly.
Probably has something to do with the fact that the kind of limp -dick jackass who would try to throw his weight around a message board of advanced degrees assuming he would naturally be the smartest one in the bunch, is exactly the same kind of limp-dick jackass who would think he could fool a small scale science fair and a little local media about the originality of his daughter's project.
Well, I was going to debate you haters some more but now you've hurt my feelings with your well-reasoned and insightful analysis of my wiener.

I've been reflecting on why I give the dad a pass and label Zack Jud as a douche bag or a collossal asshat. And my conclusion was that I was wrong and that the dad is just as much a douche bag/CAH as Dr. Jud.
And if this quote is true, that's a complete douche bag kind of thing to say.
So, I agree with you (you'll have to find something else to criticize.. let's be guve you some typos, those seem popoolar).
But... but ... I think it's even more pathetic that Jud is still grinding this axe. What a FUCKING DOUCHE BAG.

I'm sorry, it is not clear to me. You think Jud is a what?

I kinda think you are hilarious. You should stick around. Everyone gets flamed around here. If you can come back and make jokes about it? You rock.

WTF is up with your collective obsession with GIFs?
I've read more or less all the posts and I laughed at a lot of them (occasionally for the intended reason, fiend of a friend indeed) but I sadly I have work to do tonight. So, feel free to post all your zingers assured that I'll eventually be completely crushed by them. Especially the ones about my typin.. those REALLY sting.
Ok, I will add this: A bunch of you dimwits have twisted my argument. I say "You shouldn't hold a 12-year-old's science fair project to the same standards of scholarship as a professional scientist." and you come back with stupid shit like "c-i-t-a-t-i-o-n-s" or "blah blah common core blah third graders" or "What parent can defend this shit?" IMPLYING that I mean that she doesn't need citations or some stupid shit like that.
I accept that it is MY FAULT that you don't get what I'm saying because I used big words and most of you have NO FUCKING CLUE what "standards of scholarship" or "professional scientist" mean.
(And I know that some of you do know what these terms mean and maybe some of you are are getting all indignant about the language I'm using with the low masses but let me ask you: If you were in a Ph.D. student's presentation and she omitted a major citation in her area, would you accuse her of PLAGIARISM? No, you wouldn't (unless you're an idiot) because this happens. In fact, if Amy hates Bob and they work in the same area and Amy writes a paper using a different design than Bob's and omitting any reference to his work, you wouldn't even call THAT plagiarism. You would see it as bad behavior. If you were on Amy's committee or you were reviewing her paper, you might force her to cite Bob or reject her work but you wouldn't accuse her of plagiarism. You and I both know you wouldn't. But a bunch of ignorant, self-important idiots are throwing the p-word around quite a bit too much. They need to be put in their place.)
What I mean is that it's really not the end of the world if a 12-year-old's science fair project didn't cite all the relevant literature. It is BLINDINGLY FUCKING OBVIOUS (unless you're just dirt-eating-stupid) that 12-year-olds are not prepared to evaluate the literature like a professional. Think about it, you stupid haters are completely denigrating (oh, carp, another big word) everyone with a BS/BA or graduate degree by assuming that this girl should be held to the same standards as her douchebag father or Zack "I'm a whiny douche bag" Jud.
(As an aside, why haven't any of you crazy spelling nuts pointed out that the preferred spelling of douchebag was as a single word? Who looks stupid now?)
So, yeah, she didn't cite Jud (I guess, I don't think we know that, but let's assume it's true) and that's not the end of the FUCKING world. It's NOT reasonable to demand that a 12-year-old's science fair project be as complete and accurate of a literature review as a Ph.D. professional scientist. Especially if you ARE a professional (whiney, douchebag) scientist, like Jud.
And I'm not saying she shouldn't try. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to be complete and accurate. I'm not saying professional standards aren't good or that students shouldn't try to follow them. I'm not saying ANY of the crazy stupid shit that you lowbrows are putting in my mouth. In fact, try this test: If it seems stupid to you, I'm definitely not saying it, because I'm a LOT brighter than you.
