Not for the first round of appointments in 2017. Tillerson, Pruitt, Ajit Pai, DeVos, etc. were all industry insiders with their own harmful agendas who resigned as soon as they gutted whatever specific parts of their agencies they wanted.
Apparently it's an unpopular opinion, but I liked Thor 4. Could they have done more with the source material and premise? Definitely. But "what might have been" doesn't take away from the movie that actually got made, IMO. And that movie was better than pretty much any of the contemporary MCU movies post End Game (maybe even going back to Black Panther, or at least Ragnorak)
That's all well and good, but are you really suggesting that trans people who are fearing for their lives should stay put to help the electoral college issues four years from now?
I do love the feeling of disorientation I got from the first book. The whole thing felt like I was in a fever dream and I was never sure if I was losing my mind or it was the book.
Of course a big chunk of that could be the sleep deprivation that came with having 2 kids under two at the same time as reading the book.
We got in on on our house in early 2016 and the price of real estate in our area increased by 20% while we were in escrow.
Our house has more than doubled in price since then but if we had fallen out of escrow, we would not have been able to buy anything anywhere near our jobs/preferred city (and my partner and I have a combined income north of 150k/year).
Rounders has a young Matt Damon and Edward Norton and is entirely about gamblers making their living as poker players in the late 90's or early 2000's.
It's pretty good
Edit: I just realized you said not entirely about cards, but I still highly recommend the movie. The plot revolves around cards, but it's also about ambition and knowing when to cut off deadbeat friends
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I would say that "Sweet Home Alabama" is very different. It was not written bitterly and it was written by a bunch of Neil Young fans (and Neil himself loved the song). The point of "Sweet Home Alabama" was to show that there were people who grew up in the South who weren't racist, who acknowledged and decried the racist history of the South, but who also felt resentment at being lumped in with the racists, past and present. Being both proud of being from the South and ashamed of being from the South at the same time even has its own term, coined AFAIK by the band The Drive-By Truckers: "the duality of the Southern Thing."
There are plenty of artists and musicians that should just be written off, but I don't think Skynyrd is among them. They were actually relatively progressive for their background and were trying to paint a fairly sophisticated and balanced story; it's not their fault that their fanbase evolved into a bunch of racist assholes who preempted the song for their own causes, especially since the heart and soul of the band died in a plane crash in 1977. But that's just my two cents as a huge music fan who grew up listening to Skynyrd in the 90's.
That's because you're thinking of it like a particle moving a distance, but matter at that scale actually behaves more like a standing wave that only has discrete solutions.
Or at least that's how I think about electrons and Schrodinger's equation. I dunno, I only teach about stuff that's as small as an electron, but it's a useful tool for thinking about quantum numbers, so I assume it applies to smaller matter, too.
I don't know that you're wrong, because those MD/PhD programs are exceptionally demanding (but are a good way to avoid med school debt for some). It's more that even for pure MD's, research is a very, very different career path than practicing physician. I think researchers still have to go through residency, but after that they're mostly designing and arranging clinical trials, writing grants, interacting with related university departments, etc.
So, you know, research stuff rather than patient stuff.
edit: to address your actual question, I have no idea what the numbers for each path look like. A lot of those fields get so interrelated that it probably depend a lot on how you define "medical research." Does genetics count? Genomics? Biomedical engineering, definitely, but what about the material scientists that develop the new dental polymers? It all gets pretty hazy when you drill down on specifics
Edit 2: I also suppose I should say that my experience with science research is almost entirely in public/university research from about a decade back, so current private sector research could vary a lot from my experience. I don't think it's that different though, given what I've heard from friends and coworkers.
There are medical researchers that have MD's, but they are not practicing physicians (usually). There are MD/PhD programs that are aimed toward medical research fields (usually with the PhD being in biology or chemistry as you mentioned), and lots of biological and biomedical engineers working on certain medical fields as well (especially using stem cells and other chemical cues to regrow tissues). So yeah, biology- and physiology-adjacent sciences are where most of the actual advances are happening.
Actually practicing medicine is basically like being a mechanic that specializes in keeping one particularly poorly designed piece of equipment running.
I'm aware of and support her current work and I agree that she's much smarter than her public persona would lead people to believe. However, she still comes from a place of unbelievable privilege and telling people to "stop being desperate" is incredibly tone deaf, IMO.

And his lack of any sort of moral compass beyond "money"
