    Yeah let’s celebrate how fast she can run. Obviously that’s the most important thing. /s

      Well it is something she can do better than any other epidemiologist. I wonder how she feels about Noah Lyles exposing everyone in his heats to COVID?

      I mean Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology, but if you’re dropping into a half pipe you’re probably more likely to be listening to Smash than to his dissertation on tape…

      Different contexts. She can run like stink (as in, fastest in the world), and I don’t see how that takes away from her academic achievements.

      I mean, she can run really fast. It is impressive, let’s be impressed with this whole, fairly well-rounded person.

      Not to take away from her academic achievements at all, but: Plenty of people graduate Harvard every year and receive Master degrees.

      But we don’t measure who did it best out of all people on earth.

      Well, Harvard might, idc. Either way, it’s also more fun to watch a bunch of people running fast than to watch them be really good in science.
