In math and (theoretical) physics alphabetical is the presumed norm.

Personally I prefer the flavour of plant-based alternatives over dairy milk. So I don't see myself having any interest in buying it.

However, if they can engineer milk proteins for cheese production than I am very excited. Casein proteins are biochemical miracles and no plant-based cheeses are able to mimic the protein matrix in cheese properly. Instead they end up relying on starches to set, which isn't the same at all.

Leaving academia was definitely one of the best choices I ever made for my (physical, mental and financial) health.

I don't regret doing my PhD, but I definitely spent two years too many on the postdoc treadmill.

In a way these observations cut more deeply into the foundations of cosmology than dark matter. Indeed, I'd argue that dark matter challenges the standard model of particle physics more than the standard model of cosmology.

These discoveries of large scale structures challenge the assumptions that the universe is homogenous at a large enough scale. This assumption, along with isotropy, are what lead to the FLRW family of metrics describing spacetime at cosmological scales. Dark matter and dark energy only come in to the picture once you try to fit the parameters of the FLRW metrics to our observed universe.
