Cutting Edge Science and The Oldest Profession

OK Profies, the next time the grad students are complaining about their stipends you might remind them how lucky they are to not be in grad school in Britain.

In case you missed the news, the author of blog and memoirs that have become the cable TV show, "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" has come clean and identified herself as a PhD research scientist who worked her way through grad school with a night job.

Given the laughable salaries for MS graduate students at MCUs, I wonder if this explains why I can never find my research students when I go into the lab looking for them? And the fishnets hanging by the lab coats!?
