@prashmohan@discuss.systems how did you like it as a grad student there? What all did they take care of?

@geomblog@mastodon.social Thats interesting! I wonder why it didn't catch on outside bio labs. Perhaps bio labs have a lot more money?

@geomblog@mastodon.social ah, i was imagining the prof still advising the research, but things like fund raising being done by the manager

Yup, completely agree that the right people are needed. Probably the "normal" corporate mindset does not work well in a research lab.
