1. HELPING CHEMISTS FIND JOBS IN A TOUGH MARKET. 2. TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF THE CHEMISTRY JOB MARKET.
What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.*
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

ReplyDeleteOh dear, I just passed a colleague in the hall maybe 10 minutes ago who said a former colleague at JMU had committed suicide, and now I read this...
ReplyDeleteCondolences to all.
I wonder if this was work related or personal matters. Still tragic news.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the commentator at SeeArrOh's blog this was personal, not work-related. Very sad to see such a young and talented scientist's life being cut short.
