To above reply. Sigh. Semantics. Research.
"lol the fuck are you talking about. yet more business dweebs being status insecure. uk research is funded by the government."
English major, huh? Of all people who should know better than to generalize.
That Big Bang Theory video clip are of post-Doctorate people doing research after academia, BTW.
BP was just an example. To your "all research" implications.
how am i generalizing? of course im not talking about every single piece of research done in the uk. i even said in my first post that corporate research for big pharm / energy is completely separate from academia, outside of its avenues of funding and careerism, so is therefore irrelevant. an academic - note, academic, someone whose career is in academia - will never go fellating a businessman, or with his hands open, asking for money. that's not how it works in the UK.
not sure who that was aimed at, but i have a touch-typing speed of like 120WPM, so a 'wall of text' is more like 30 seconds of thinking aloud. don't be stupid.by the wall of text I can tell he has no life what so ever.
