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.

It's the universal sign of reminding others of Rodin's 'The Thinker'. Makes you look smarter. Like you've been thinking, or might be about to think hard about stuff or some-such.
ReplyDeleteGod, I need to concentrate. My thoughts are all over the place and I can't get anything done when I sit down in front of the grant document, or the potentiostat. Suddenly it's two hours later and I've got nothing. I think I'm getting dumber and drinking all this beer is not helping. I wish I was more like those two guys; at least I would be a better actor. They seem to have it all under control and be able to concentrate. Plus they are definitely more successful.
Well, get your hands around your face!
DeleteIt's ACS's way to show that not every keynote speaker will have a thumb up his ass.
ReplyDeleteNot both, anyway.
DeleteThose are easily identified by the title "professor".

Ca. 1978.
DeleteI especially like the Daisy Duke cutoff shorts of the woman in the background.
DeleteFree Radical calls this the look towards the future young graduate pose.

Who had the great idea of having the national ACS meeting in Indy? It's a nice town, but was every other decent venue booked this summer?
ReplyDeleteWonder if Lilly will unchain the AMRI folks and let them go.
I actually like the photos where the subject is holding a phone.
ReplyDeleteJack Benny did it earlier.

The minute I saw the two photos I thought: Danishefsky!!! Just use Google images to see a least 5 more of the man with the debonair hand pose.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised to see a young woman in shorts standing behind the man. I had Danishefsky many moons ago for undergraduate organic at Pitt. He routinely invited young women to his office, if they asked him nicely for help with homework. I heard him with my own ears tell a young woman to stop by at 5 in the afternoon. To any young man with the same request, he would bark "Go find a graduate student."
Anonymous, that is the same thing I thought of when I saw the post! Samuel J. Danishefsky has the hand thing down.
