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.

Are you responding to a recent controversy I haven't heard about yet?
ReplyDeleteI think that this is the reason why there are so many pseud's on twitter. We all like/need to vent from time to time. There are just some dumb/ineffectual/hurtful ways of going about letting off some steam.
ReplyDeleteI saw that screencap of a FB post by a northeastern prof on r/chemistry, but it was deleted soon after. The prof essentially said she outworked her entire lab this summer despite juggling a major life event. If real, it was really dumb (on the part of the prof).
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a bad idea to vent about your job on social networks. And don't get me started on friending your students.
