Sounds like our Chief Medical Officer of Health. She is highly regarded and could run for office.
(I don't know if we have Chief Medical Officers of other things besides Health.)

Covid19. Just remembering the warnings during that Amazonian trip. Maybe I shouldn't have left that butterfly out...

Off topic: I've been quite impressed with the "new" ways of doing maths that my son has been taught. They seem like a huge improvement in terms of teaching you how to manipulate numbers, at the cost of being less brutally efficient. Brutal efficiency is what we have computers for...

I'm not sure I like this. The joke above skipped another prejudice of mine.
Once I thought Germany was the most bureaucratic country of all. Then I visited UK, and then the US, and then Russia, ...Since then I know Bones was right:
McCoy: The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe.

Since a couple of minutes ago, I thought we were the only ones who experiment with our school kids and reinvent the wheel every few years ...

Acceleration is
$$a=\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=\frac{d^2x}{2t\,dt}\stackrel{t\rightarrow 0}{\longrightarrow}\infty$$
which proves singularity at the Big Bang.

Hydrogeology pun:
The dowser found more water than you can shake a stick at.

Entomology pun:
Professor: “Male dung beetles haul 1,100 times their body weight!”
Student: “That’s a load of crap.”

I once had the following dialogue:
(Me and a friend at a bar singing along a song which was new in the charts, but a cover of an old song from Linda Ronstadt or so.)
My friend: "We should pay more attention to what we sing along."
Me: "Why?"
Him: "It shows when we originally learned that song!"

I wonder whether kids today still have this pacman association.

May I have a large container of coffee, cream and sugar?

or

How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics, and if the lectures were boring or tiring, then any odd thinking was on quartic equations again.

Good that the first zero is so far away (digit 32 behind the dot)!
