Everything on this list is nice in general; my favorite is #5. I suspect that UBI would not make any difference to the "Karikó problem" though. Labs are almost always desperate for people who can get things done. If you don't mind not being a PI and are ok with a relatively small paycheck (but still much greater than what UBI would provide), it's fairly easy to maintain scientific employment that still allows you to pursue your own side projects. Perhaps we should call persisting as an individual contributor, not in a PI / management role, the "Karikó solution".
- kragen 5y agoLabs don't have much funding. Remember 95% of people don't live in the US.
- jpeloquin 5y agoApologies for implying that scientific employment outside of the US is easy to obtain. I should have clarified that my comment pertained only to the US scientific job market, which enjoys considerable support from public and private funds.
