My facility's Furdie counterpart is having their annual meeting this week, so I've got the Zoom going in the background while I do my work. One speaker made a reference to pseudoknots and quasi-knots, which I didn't get (it's biology, but not my field of biology), so I tried checking online for "pseudoknot vs quasi-knot" and didn't really find anything helpful. I asked in the Q&A about this terminology, and for resources where I might read more about it.
The presenter (a grad student), was a bit sheepish in saying that it was a small joke, but he did go ahead and explain why he used two different terms, and he also cited a group whose work I could look into. That's all great, but then the moderator said, "For resources, you can check Google."
So fucking condescending. Excuse yourself, I DID check Google and found nothing useful. Ugh Furdies. 😡
In the comments, I thanked the speaker and said to the moderator: I should mention that I did check Google, which unfortunately didn’t seem to catch the joke :)
