The life of a PhD outside academia. Wednesday, April 25, 2007. What is wrong with people these days? Don't worry I'll get back to posting about science related things but I'm procrastinating from finishing the last few revisions on a paper so blogging about science would be a bad use of my procrastination time. Oh no As I'm standing there dumbfounded at the inconsiderate people on my bus I realize the elderly woman has a cane. A CANE! And still no one will give up their seat! Links to this post. Oh, it's...

Bee Policy: April 2006
http://www.beepolicy.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Those who have handled the sciences have been either empiricists or dogmatists. Empiricists are like ants, who only collect things and make use of them. Rationalists are like spiders, who weave webs out of their own bodies. But the bee has a middle policy: it extracts material from the flowers. Of the gardens and meadows, and digests and transforms it by its own powers.". Saturday, April 29, 2006. More on unbounded education. Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing. Has linked to a video about the Fairhaven School.

I noticed that I never posted what I don't miss about grad school. Can't have everyone thinking grad school was all sugar and spice and everything nice. 1) The money, or lack of. I must say it's nice to actually be making a salary with benefits and all. 4) Not getting emails from my supervisor at odd hours or on long weekends. I do enjoy l...
