@FulfillHeaven @BalazsHalmosMD @Aiims1742 @DrBonillaOnc You have so many invalid points. 1. Sure, This happens sometimes, not MOST. 2. I fail to see what is wrong with finishing experiments in the allotted period , that involves spending $, and who honestly cares when in the project period that happens! Good day!

@FulfillHeaven @BalazsHalmosMD @Aiims1742 @DrBonillaOnc Let me help you with that stipend, fringe, tuition for a grad student ~60k/year, postdocs start at salary and fringe around 75/ year salary. So w just two salaries we have already eaten more than half of the annual budget.

@FulfillHeaven @BalazsHalmosMD @Aiims1742 @DrBonillaOnc Debate further with you, since you do not have a current and realistic idea of how this works. I haven’t even mentioned personnel costs which have increased a lot apparently - since your time. ANY idea what it costs to train a grad student or postdoc today?

@FulfillHeaven @BalazsHalmosMD @Aiims1742 @DrBonillaOnc Live animals of any kind, flow cytometry w lots of antibodies, metagenomics or metatranscriptomics, or collaborators good fucking luck shoehorning your budget under the modular cap. And for that matter under the non modular cap! I don’t really feel the need to

@FulfillHeaven @BalazsHalmosMD @Aiims1742 @DrBonillaOnc On me. There is nothing phony about me- and in this job experience matters. And you know that. But you are not interested in a real conversation it seems- but simply in slanting things toward whatever your agenda is for your followers. Good evening!

@FulfillHeaven @BalazsHalmosMD @Aiims1742 @DrBonillaOnc There are serious reasons for the flaws you mention- btw I never said there weren’t flaws- but burning academia to the ground is not the answer. You know nothing about me, I’m not the slightest bit ashamed- and don’t need a look in the mirror. Ad hominems won’t work on me.

@FulfillHeaven @BalazsHalmosMD @Aiims1742 @DrBonillaOnc Totally legitimate. 4. Science is inherently inefficient, if you were a scientist you would know that. We can not predict in advance what the next big discovery is going to be- see helicopter, prions, and rna vaccines as things few people would have predicted to be important.
