Yeah i feel really bad about the whole thing, but the boss wanted me to work 90% on another project, which while interesting, would take a while to generate a publication (our currency). This way I can work on finding a job, doing the writing, and basically not go into lab which stresses me enormously. <br /><br />I think academic escapies will for a while harbor some feelings of failure but we just have to get out and get a real job to discover that its not us that failed academia, it's academia that failed us. From the non-existant team work, to the non-existant mentoring, the constant need to learn entirely separate fields (for this last project I did mouse genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, proteomics, bioinformatics - all widely different fields). It gets to be just ridiculous. How many people need to know so many expertese with little or no guidance? Just academic postdocs i guess.Rob Dejournetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451389128538898818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083299915970419228.post-14310996941482874782009-07-14T21:45:16.850-07:002009-07-14T21:45:16.850-07:00Congratulations Rob.
