WTF, @jeopardy? This is in a way almost worse than the first deal. So now, on the one hand, you have a man with a history of misogyny hosting part of the time. On the other hand, you have an antivaxxer and supplement hawker @missmayim hosting the rest.

What's a
@jeopardy fan to do. Alex Trebek must be doing backflips in his grave right now.6 replies 7 retweets 114 likesShow this thread -
I mean,
@jeopardy: Do you remember all the times Alex Trebek made nasty comments about pregnant models or fired them? I don't either. Ditto the times he promoted antivaccine misinformation and hawked bogus "brain health" supplements.7 replies 18 retweets 190 likesShow this thread -
I keep wondering how
@Jeopardy could have made worse picks, and the only way I can think of is if the producers had picked@DrOz to be the permanent host.pic.twitter.com/T4aM47GBMQ5 replies 11 retweets 185 likesShow this thread -
Oh, and WTF,
@washingtonpost editors and@EmilyYahr? How is it that you didn't notice@missmayim's history of promoting antivaccine pseudoscience and, more recently, using her neuroscience PhD to hawk bogus "brain health" supplements? That's a huge lapse.6 replies 29 retweets 195 likesShow this thread -

Her Ph.D. granted with *zero* publications, I might add.

I couldn't believe you were correct; so I searched PubMed. Holy crap, you're right! HOW on earth does one get a PhD in neuroscience without a single decent publication in the peer-reviewed neuroscience literature?

Having at least one first-author publication in an acceptable journal and one other co-author publication was a requirement to graduate from my PhD program.

It's scandalous. And UCLA is a fine school, which makes it worse. Special dispensations for television celebrities, I guess.

Geez. Who was her thesis advisor, I wonder?

It's almost like she got the title to prepare for a lucrative career in the pseudoscience market.
