Now onto "not science but important anyway" stuff

For all of you trying to decide between Grad School and Med School:
Being a doctor is a career

While college teaching is more of a hobby. See page 3 in the first link and page 1 in the second

That’s likely after you do a postdoc:

The last sentence obviously applies to those thinking about graduate school, too.

If you are a woman competing for a tenure track job in the academia, perhaps you will not be discriminated against:

There has been a pro-male bias for a long time. Remember McClintock?

Positions in academia are of course few and far between. So brush up on your computer skills:

Enjoy!

    Weekly sciencey bits

    Disclaimer: This started as a "weekend reading list" meant to encourage students in the lab to think about science and their own future in it. Do not take it seriously: I myself may no longer agree with whatever I wrote here last week.
