Scientist: “to be[come] or not to be[come]“
A few days ago a friend of mine send me an article by an American University professor Jonathan I. Katz with the title “Don’t become a Scientist!”. It is very interesting point of view.
In the last few days I have been thinking a lot about this article. Of course for me is rather late now as I have done my PhD and am doing a Post Doc but maybe it is not too late. Well I’m still leaving all options open and see what is coming next…
Talking about scientists and grad students many of you might have been wondering if the economy crisis will have an effect on grad students or not. Here is the ultimate answer by PhD comics:

The article was completely true and disappointing! At the moment i know that such a “postdoc loop” really exists in physical sciences but not sure about biological sciences. Anyway, when you like to pursue your studying in science and have no idea what would happen in future, what will you do? I am not sure now what i’m gonna do in future, i mean if i stay in science, but this is not the step that i can be sure of leaving it. If i leave it now, I might become regretful afterward.
