What's on ear

One of my - few - Resolutions for this year was once again frequently go to concerts (another was the attainment of world domination, but Pinky's has messed up again). And so far it runs very good, two concerts I have behind me.

The first concert was THE event par: Linkin Park! Their only concert in Switzerland, of course, sold out, 9000 people in the stadium - including me. And what can I say ... I could have also popelnd sit on the toilet and would have spent my time better.

The opening act was called off and so were the guys from LP forced off to a cold start. And in 9000 people that's just not easy. "So why try first?" Will have everyone asking who also only had a bit to do with the concert. As would naturally first band: Absolutely impersonal Performance, barely interacting with the audience, for ages, filled with silence, pauses between songs (the library was apparently the same as the previous stations) and a mega short show. Then, the sound engineer, who had managed only after the fourth or fifth song, build an audible sound.

Jürgen von der Lippe once told of his first appearance in Switzerland. What had taken him completely out of the concept was the fact that, despite all efforts, barely got a laugh during the show. Clearly, he was totally finished with the nerves and then the operator asked him if he did anything wrong. The answer: "No, no! We chaben chöniglich amused ". lasted If one takes that takes into account you can you even imagine how long it was until finally came into the shop atmosphere. My best moment I had about 30 minutes after the start of the concert, as I am of eingepennt. And said more needs to be no more. was

Last Monday it then a well deserved Abwechlsung: Joe Bonamassa in Zurich. Joe plays of childhood and the blues-rock so well that he and 13 or 14 BB King concerts already occurred. I'm still frustrated at the time sitting at home, because suddenly grew hair in places where there were none before (now I would be happy to have hair in places where what used to be times ...). All of this was in-merchants, a place that is a little reminiscent of Wester-saloon: dark wood paneling, mirrors above the bar, etc. A nice location that is a brilliant concert. Did I mention that the Swiss public can be difficult? Here, after the first five minutes already on the heads were wobbling.

addition to brilliant guitar deposits there was also great song, but to be honest this was the only bridge there to the time between the long wrong, absolutely awesome guitar solos. Joe has not made any breaks, songs were seamlessly into one another. The lewd, when he was in the middle of his band tour backstage at the break and sent departed alone on stage. Also very nice: there was finally back looong songs. If you ever noticed that, most radio-friendly tracks only 3.5 minutes? At best, even ringtone compatible? In any event, the concert was worth every franc. One of the best live shows I've seen.

so it was for now. I'm (of course) once again at work do the same again. In radio, as always, is just crap and I present my iPod. So I just tinker with my Youtube a few songs. Something quiet, I'm still tired:

Tracy Chapman - Give me one reason (radio play only "Fast Car", why not even this song?)

BB King feat. Gary Moore - The thrill is gone (Actually, we should always finish the song at the end of the doctoral work lol.)

Morcheeba - Enjoy the ride (the first good song since Skye left the band.)

The law of the jungle part 3: Shit rolls down the mountain

"shit rolls down the mountain!" means that all evil comes from above. An ass always sits on you and makes you life a living hell. I've been pretty lucky when I stories from other laboratories hear a real quake ears.

Most common is the Kontrolfreak. A boss who always needs to know if it works well behaved. At this institute, we have two of them. If she happens not in the laboratory (due to a conference or weekend is because) they call to check whether all the work. See bottom of this post.

In America, apparently very common is the read-head. Instead of hiring a PhD or postdoc for a project, he gets several. Which he then communicates with fair to say that he has made several, but in the end only allowed to remain, the get the project up and running. Competition is good we know the business.

Two Weeks of here now has a particularly bad reputation. In a year he should have worn more times 8 employees (read: abandoned fired or frustrated). The best story is that of his graduate students, took the vacation and just never came back.

So, that's it for now. That you understand me wrong: I love my job. Honest! It's fun and I could not think of anything else (and I've really thought about it often). Only when I look in the news View the eternal discussion of elite universities, brain-drain and trainee exploitation must come to me sometimes just up the bile, because I simply found incredibly hypocritical. But as saying goes: "Hate the game, not the player, baby"

At this point, two in doctoral circles now legendary letters that have shown me repeatedly that I would have much worse . I could take only say: What is the Labour

number one

number two is found here.

The law of the jungle part 2: There are no rules in hell!

We now know that is how important it is to publish research data. The problem: There is not always something to publish. What can you do?

is very popular with the so-called "Scoop". Here, the results of a competition laboratories nachgekocht simple and yet published of him. to get to the data is not a problem, there is once in a conference at which the current state of research is presented. Two of my friends were already gescoopt, an acquaintance who has experienced this very stark: The laboratory in which he had applied for a job, has repeated the contents of his lecture, ice cold and published before it.

You also can an employee be easy to take away most promising project. Many bosses it's literally a shit who gives of his slaves, his laboratory results, the main thing they are there. No wonder that among us there is often an animal paranoia. My colleague has repeatedly tried to tear my projects in themselves, fortunately without success. In other labs were friends not so successful. A colleague (funny enough, with the same name as me, even the spelling was the same), then has terminated for frustration. Another shortly afterwards as well.

Here I have to make a little detour and - as already announced - signed by the Chinese. Who want to get on the floor just extremly unpopular. It starts with the fact that they compete with incredible resumes. Just finished working with the master and only four publications, x techniques which they have a blablabla. On site, the prodigies turn out then as a joke, even the simplest of hand grips must explain to them (even worse, you say it could and try trial and error now just need a 400,000 € microscope to be repaired because such a fool.. ). Which, of course, sooner or later leads to the question: How can anything ever published? Or is the Wang-Wing Wong on the CV, the same Wong on the publication. This question is now better than many people . Result: Two were fired last year. The last thing I heard is that the one her former Laboratory as a Chinese-vilified enemies.

But back to the lousy career tricks. If you yourself is not good, why not steal from others or manipulate their experiments? Extreme paranoia-ridden friends mark all their proteins and DNA collections either false or with a code, for fear that a competitor could play around with it.

The absolute ultimate in filth numbers is the falsification of data. How easy to be successful has already shown my compatriot Hwang (The clone type). And there are plenty of students who work out of fear and pressure to succeed like to use Photoshop. Most of the time going to go back, but with a little Fortunately, one is a already a step ahead on the career ladder. The above-mentioned Chinese ("Chinese hostile to Labor") has provided data that were so incredibly clear that immediately came on all the alarm bells. Especially since everyone knew that they can NIX. Linda Buck, a Nobel Prize winner, had to withdraw a recent article, because it describes the results were reproducible. Debt was (supposedly) the first author, the case is under investigation.

circulating since ages in Basel, the story of a Chinese chemistry graduate students. His supervisor called him into the office one day and said something like, "Dude, your data is the hammer. This is almost too good to to be true. Let us sit together tomorrow and all-time check. Maybe we'll find somewhere a mistake. "Nodded the PhD student, went home and never returned to the laboratory. No idea whether the story is true. But still somehow cool.

The law of the jungle part 1: (over) living in the jungle researchers

researchers are goofy, spiritual, unworldly and naïve. WRONG! Quite wrong. Who has successfully completed his doctoral work, is most likely a selfish Einzelkämpfersau not the problem, has someone to chase cuddling, smiling a knife in the back. For as moronic as it sounds: only the tough get into the garden.

ultimate goal of all students is to share in scientific pee contest, also known as "publication". On the publication list is decisive for the future of a PhD. He has published his findings in a well-known journal, a temporary place beckons slaves in another laboratory. He has written more than one article in the student newspaper, a job beckons as agent (with a good salary, company car and moderate working hours) - so nothing, what a scientist would ever have. Important are two main things: 1 In which journal an article was published? 2. And its numbered position of the author list will be listed?

to 1: Scientific journals under the so-called "impact factor" is (IF) scored. Simply put, says of the IF, as is often cited an article from the magazine in other articles. The higher the IF, the better.

On 2: his own name you would like to see as in the first place (first author) or last (corresponding author). Everything else is unimportant.

lot of work, one is at least well paid for it? No. On average, most students I know (only the molecular-pusher, to the humanities I lack the background knowledge, but I'm assuming that it is similar) about 60 hours per week. It is often more. A German graduate student will be supplied with BATII / 2, which are about 1000 € per month. The scorn here: The candidate will officially employed and paid only 50% (a very cool article to Prof. Axel Brennicke published

is here in Switzerland. the salary still reasonably ok, but live we are here, according to official standards below subsistence level. The Koreans are very poor turn, there to pay the students is still an exception. Was there not even a discussion on exploitation of interns and underpaid doctors? Why do students not something similar? Probably because they all have no time to do too much in the laboratory. Or because they know they can easily mess up thus their future.

And to drag the students of this world day after day for very little thanks to the ass, on, can post in the hope of someday something nice. Mind you: it is rare to have the fun of research, it is usually only (Times to stay in the competition pee-parabola) to let everyone know about others, that even pees the most beautiful, thickest and most yellow beam. And for that, many go on real corpses. More like there's the next part.

Boliddisch! Another thing

China upsets me just as planned. Something is false and hypocritical to me to not come back to my church choir. So are boycotts on the back burner: The Olympic Games I'll be watching not sure, it's been a big shit, that China will have the opportunity to withdraw such a large propaganda show. A holiday in China, I will also first rule (not that I had time for it). Most of the Chinese here on the floor by me in any case been ignored, because what these guys pull off anything worth a whole post (which will follow soon).

had once said the now, bye!

PS: I would like to see but still kung fu movies, because coming from Hong Kong, which I count still not right with China. Also, I would still like to talk with YP from Shanghai, because it is pretty cool.
