Katalin Karikó, who is sharing the Nobel Prize in medicine for her work with mRNA vaccines, says she was previously demoted by the University of Pennsylvania for her research in that area.
“If you know about 10 years ago, I was here in October because I was kicked out from UPenn, was forced to retire,” Karikó told the Nobel Prize organization in an interview Monday.
The university is still celebrating her win Monday, with no mention of the demotion or her rocky history with the university.
89 年加入Penn，job title 是 Research Assistant Professor，其实就是紫檀看不上的千年博后。开创性工作是在 2005 年在 Weissman 的实验室做的。她的收入在很长一段时间里都在6万以下。没有这些研究人员，就不会有将来的新药
但有些行业行程特别艰辛，竞争特别激烈，运气特别重要。。。不承认不行。
或者热衷的指出来，这个职位不是难得的。
比如 ”CS 40万“
传来传去，最后变成”眼里就知道钱“
虽然看上去总是有很多人在做着琐碎的小事，无用的实验，灌水的文章，但正是无数这些平凡的小工作，积微成著，孕育出人类重要的成就。
会灵活变动的要好多了
在给UP名教授义工一年后如愿以偿得以进医学院。人家能给名教授义工也是找了熟人介绍进去的
至少还有家人，孩子
能为他们提供好的生活，环境和教育，也是一种能力吧
如果又喜欢钱又不屑于谈钱，也是很别扭纠结的事情
我们这里英文系的教授坚持不让娃再major English 了，都知道为什么 ：）
就生化专业，没有PhD或post doc experience 在Biotech 公司也升不上去，做faulty professor 更是别想。
人过的不比谁差。
你个富家的，不明白养家糊口的真正压力。。。。
也有问题，如果念PhD或post doc时结婚生孩子，确实挺苦。中西部念PhD时结婚的很多。再有就是绿卡问题。二代没这些事。
