So, I got an offer where I can transfer Marriott Bonvoy points at 3 points per United mile. For every 60,000 points transferred, there's a 10,000-mile bonus. Is 60k Marriott points normally seen worth the equivalent of 30,000 United miles? I feel like I would tend to use the miles more than the points.
I'm curious on different experiences you've had serving as an associate editor of an academic journal? Pros/cons, articles about that experience? Is it more political than you expect? Is it more or less work than you expect? (I'm in the US, in science/engineering, but curious about all disciplines).
Hi all excuse me if this has been asked before but I seem to have a lot of problems with how slow the app is running on my iPhone, are there any suggestions about what to do? For example should I delete it and re-download it? Sometimes the timed lessons take 20 seconds off the time while it is starting that lesson, other times it takes one minute for the app to load.
I’ve spent so much time at home in the last year and think it’s time for some changes in my home office and other parts. What makes your home, homey?
There is a lot of discussion in this area on twitter and elsewhere as the minimum wage may rise to $15. I have to admit I haven't been paying that much but will budget at least that amount going forward (in new grants). I also think there's far too little transparency about common salaries and when I started I did not get much guidance about how much to pay people in each position.

Hey bro’s I’m curious if anyone knows how much impact the quarantine has had on std transmission rates? I guess I’m especially curious about its impact in the Lgbtq community. I saw a few articles about reduced heterosexual chlamydia rates but not about our folks. It would be a nice baby silver lining if this period could reduce other diseases for a while, right?
