Mako Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yeah, some of those are epic. That doesn't count the one my old boss got that said 'no previous paper has this degree of reproducibility so I do not believe the data is genuine' on a paper that was all abut how this new method improved reproducibility... Or the one that tore me a new one for a bunch of stuff that I'd clearly explained in the text, so there was no way he could have read it, or even skimmed it properly (the other reviewers comment was 'good stuff, but you didn't define this abbreviation. Oh, and put the structure of this chemical in figure 2 would you?'). Saying 'Peer review' to a scientist is like sneaking up on someone with an axe then chanting 'blood blood blood' in their ear lol.

edonil Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Online classes, so technically I don't have to do anything until that Wednesday. The 19th is the first official day of class starting. You're all good, we'll be able to get you back just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Ah lovely, i was just mildly freaked out about that and a number of other things Sorry, didn't mean to freak you out. Anything else I can put your mind at ease about? ---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ---------- And I thought that the future was in the hands of terrifying undergrads?

Mako Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Mostly, the undergrads are totally useless and irrelevant in science. It's the few that survive the relentless torture and become the deranged egomaniacs that you want to worry about! Either way, science is rather boned...
