I used to put all the blame of low-quality continuous publications on the researchers doing it. But I see that if you don't do it that way and you give too many details too soon, your ideas might be stolen. What a motivation!
This is so fucked up I wonder if anyone is doing real science anymore. In the end having a different day job and doing research in your own basement doesn't sound that bad anymore.
Unless you are hired by a tech company and get paid as an employee. I know you can do this in Scandinavian countries. You can do your postgraduate studies under a company, and then that company usually hires you. It seems like the only effective way to turn science into a profession. Work experience instead of academia.
Hmm, interesting! Go to do science in your basement !! I love it!!

Community laboratories, wow, this is a great idea! Imagine this in a more organized way. The founders could decide on some basic admission exams (basic science and safety procedures) and then people could pay a participating fee or somehow contribute to the lab and use the machines for their own research. They could organize a yearly public presentation of their research (something like Tedx) and try to find independent sponsors.
Exactly! We are on the same wavelength! I was thinking the same thing!
Maybe even find sponsors on steemit!
