Lmao if Clive cared so much about diversity of ideas, why did the UAP always vote with the Coalition 9.9 times out of 10? Barely had any ideas despite the lower house seats

I work in biology and the amount of people who work in the field because they hate maths is... considerable. As others have said, the field is almost entirely quantitative and statistics nowadays, so, lol

Yeah teaching sounds like such a terrible deal from my understanding.

Teachers have almost unrivalled bargaining power. They can stop society functioning if they go on strike - there is already a a teacher shortage, so no chance at scabs. The state teaching unions should be leveraging this to ensure they aren't getting cooked over working hours.

If only there was a group of elected officials who could legislate and regulate industries who hurtle us towards extinction in the quest for unending profit. Wishful thinking I suppose

Totally unnecessary and is not how science works.

If you make data public before analysis, labs will get scooped with their own data. No one would invest in data collection.

Often things are found or worked out during the process, which can change week to week or month to month, iteratively. Experiments don't go to plan, data is cooked and can only be used in reduced ways etc. Researchers are meant to share their raw data anyway which should prevent this sort of stuff. Basic statistical analysis on datasets usually reveals tampering.

The issue is the insane academic standards and funding bodies (public grant $) which reward high volume and high 'impact' work. These incentives need re-evaluation and people should not be punished for years of low activity. Sometimes science and discovery just doesn't work the way you think it will, and that's okay. We need a system which acknowledges that which everyone in science knows.
