很明显这说明我很跟风地订阅了Motl的博客。按照大多数人的说法，此人原本是海归，按照王鸿飞老师的说法，此人原本牛，后来转型变成了牛虻。按照陈安老师的说法，此人则是从牛龟转型（参考Wikipedia.org）。可见，这些“说法”，唯一的效果就是世界上多了些废话，唯一的价值就是没有价值。这些都不应是王鸿飞老师和陈安老师藉以确立其个人价值的工作。

Motl聊了Amy Bishop杀人那事，同时也聊了另一个人自杀的事。王鸿飞老师聊过Amy Bishop自杀的事情。Motl的头三段是这样的：

Amy Bishop, a neuroscientist trained at Harvard – that’s where your humble correspondent has spent six years – and working as an assistant professor at University of Alabama in Huntsville – that’s where John Christy and Roy Spencer create their UAH datasets, among other things – has killed three of her colleagues and injured additional three biologists during a faculty meeting.

They refused to give her tenure.

Robert Yen, a chimpanzee, is thrilled by the murders and suicides in the Academia. He thinks that they prove that something is terribly wrong over there. Well, they do and they don’t. The scholarly environment, which includes an explosive mixture of a breathtaking hypocrisy, frequent boredom, and high expectations, among other positive and negative things, may have a higher suicide rate but I think it’s clear that it doesn’t have a higher murder rate. And the reasons for the murders are not so dramatically different from the reasons in many other sectors.

看来牛虻也不会放过猪和大猩猩。有趣的是Motl自己也suiside in the Academia了，他自己又是啥原因呢？
