god bless science research, it's all so relevant and all leads to direct human gain. so much more valued than humanities. medical research, too, the absolute pinnacle of what the university should be about! if only academia could reform to suit dilbert's vision: all scientists 'useful' and generating 'progress', all humanities toffs kicked to the curb where they belong.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/brain … hy-i-drinkPlease allow me to introduce myself, I am Dr Kayleigh Dodd, once a hard working, enthusiastic young science graduate preparing myself for an illustrious and distinguished career in medical research. Five years on, my job hangs by a thread, my future somewhat questionable and the best thing that's happened to me this year was a fortuitous meeting with Dr Dean Burnett leading to this very outburst of frustration.
I may be exaggerating ever so slightly. I never really expected to have an illustrious or distinguished career, it was the super-geek within which drove me down this career path. However, the sentiment remains the same; basically, SCIENCE SUCKS.
oh
dilbert's reality flickers and fades! perhaps he should listen to people who are actually involved in academia, instead of spouting verbiage. and that's an academic working in cancer and genetics, at a top university department
can you imagine how much of a 'master race' is it outside of his precious medicine example!
