      Limited budgets require you to do this rather than throw mud at the fan and hope for progress. It is how the process works and journalism like this never does it justice. What this headline says should actually be “we are terrible gatekeepers, so how can we, as medicine, help fix it.” This is not for the capital owner side. This is for equity and accessibility.

        Eh, I can understand the anger, but it’s inherently reactionary and comes from ignorance rather than a bad place. Science likes to put up a nice facade of how it works. A lot of ECRs, myself included, go into a bit of shock at first during a PhD. It’s a lot of drudgery, data sorting, and paperwork. My field isn’t medicine but the skillset for reading into pop science and terrible admin written press releases from unis is cross-disciplinary haha.

          Seems like a good read on the situation.You seem like a very nice person (zero sarcasm intended). I admire your patience, and I feel a bit ashamed of my original snarky comment directed at that guy
