    Don’t give postdocs money, they’d just spend it on booze and drugs

      Evey time I hear about the evil big pharma funding all the studies out there to influence them in they favor, I immediately ask, “where is this funding and how can I get it?”

      Because let’s be honest, unless the leg work is already done, they aren’t funding shit.

      On the flip side of that, I did do a study for 3M and their hearing protection devices (I am an audiology/PhD student) and the funding was great. There were also basically no strings attached other than “use this product, study workplace noise, be able to publish it”.
