Does necromancy only work on animals? What do you do if you accidentally necromancy a fence and then it starts growing branches?
WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU NECROMANCY A BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO AND IT TURNS INTO AN ENTIRE PILE OF LIMES?
What if I accidentally necromancy a vaccine and then someone gets an armful of very live pathogen?
WHAT’S THE LIMIT ON DEADNESS? HOW RECENTLY DOES SOMETHING HAVE TO BE DEAD? COULD I NECROMANCY A DINOSAUR FOSSIL? WHAT IF I NECROMANCIED THE GROUND AND THEN DINOSAURS STARTED APPEARING?
WHAT IF I NECROMANCIED A LIMESTONE WALL AND IT JUST TURNED INTO A PILE OF MOLLUSCS? WHAT IF I MOLLUSCED A BUILDING? A MOUNTAIN?
Hey OP are you okay
no
NECROMANCY DOES WORK ON ANIMALS BUT AS RULE OF THUMB BIGGER ONES TAKE MORE ENERGY WHILE SMALLER ONES TAKE MORE PRESCISION THE HAPPY MEDIUM ENDS UP WITH LARGE DOGS BEING EASIEST
PLANT CELLS GENERALLY DO NOT RESPOND TO NECROMANCY AND REQUIRE A DIFFERENT FORM OF MAGIC TO MANIPULATE BUT THERE ARE A FEW WEIRDOS THAT PRACTICE NECROFORLOMANCY
SHAMPOO HAS LIKELY UNDERGONE TOO MANY INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES TO BE MAGIC REACTIVE ANYMORE
NECROMANCING INDIVIDUAL BACTERIA WOULD TAKE AN INHUMAN AMOUNT OF CONTROL
SAME CONCEPT WITH DINOSAUR SKELETONS THEY HAVE BEEN DEAD SO LONG REANIMATING THEM WOULD TAKE SO MUCH ENERGY YOURE HONESTLY BETTER OFF TRYING TO JUST RIP A HOLE IN SPACETIME AND HOPING A T REX FALLS THROUGH
SIMILARLY WITH LIMESTONE YOU WOULD HAVE TO REANIMATE EACH MOLLUSK INDIVIDUALLY
AHEM speaking as a grad student from the University of Wisconsin, NONE OF THE PEOPLE THERE BELIEVE IT EITHER, PLEASE DO NOT BLAME BARRY FUCKING POWELL ON US.
also he isn’t even at the uw anymore, he retired early to write really bad poetry and live in a yurt, and I swear to god I wish I were making this up
Now that I’ve finished the @#$%ing paper, I want to write some fanfiction, but I still have teaching responsibilities and a fuckton of job applications coming due starting tomorrow and with little let-up until November 15, and also my brain is a pile of mush.
No rest for the weary, the wicked, or those who are both.
Oh fuck, I need to finish building my academic website.
Evolutionary geneticists Fiona Ingleby and Megan Head
collaborated on a study of gender bias in academia. They found that
women with a PhD in biology published fewer articles than their male
peers, which the authors argued showed gender bias, reports Times Higher Education.
When the women submitted the study to peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE, a reviewer came back with some pretty shocking suggestions.
Ingleby quickly posted the reviewer’s remarks to Twitter:
The women’s reviewer also suggested the publishing gap could exist
because middle-aged female scientists preferred spending time with their
children to working in a lab.
“Perhaps it is not so surprising
that on average male doctoral students co-author one more paper than
female doctoral students, just as, on average, male doctoral students
can probably run a mile race a bit faster than female doctoral
students,” the reviewer added, according to Times Higher Education.
And show me where it’s written to suggest male authors do the same with female authors for the same reasons? Ya ain’t gonna find it.
