I am in the process of porting a very long piece I wrote about James Damore's bad science for Medium to a new DW-for-my-pro-science-writing that I can link people to a little more comfortably, because I am straight up more comfortable on DW than on Medium.

But also, it is suuuuper long and the HTML is suuuuuper boring and I made one mistake I need to fix to feel good about myself and uuuuugh I'll feel better when I'm done but

aaaauuuuuuuuuugh

SYMPATHY

OH GOD, THE FOOTNOTES

When I did them on my (now dead) book blog, I totally cheated and used a plugin to format them. There needs to be better HTML formatting shortcuts!

I am very sympathetic to your difficulties, but also thank you for the most entertaining takedown I've read all week :D

So cool! (Your story, not the HTML issues). I am also a science writer.

Someone recently turned me onto using Markdown for formatting drafts, which has actually been pretty awesome since it’s really easy to fix glitches and integrates with LaTeX. And to think, I thought R was only good for statistics and pretty graphs.
