I got picked up for residency this week. I had been doing a research project in my chosen field. For about 9 months. IRB proposal written, respected research institute collaborators. Waiting to present to IRB. I was, in so many words, told to drop it. "Extracurricular". Maybe shelve it and think about it in 18 months.
- irollboozers 14y agoThis is so damn frustrating to hear. How is an extra interest to do research in your own field a bad thing? I don't understand how the older generation of scientists and doctors even compute the cost benefit analysis here.
- loup-vaillant 14y agoThey don't. Once the activity pattern matches with "not ordered by the hierarchy", it goes automatically in the "no good" bucket. Rationalization like this "extracurricular" pretext may follow, but the actual decision is based on a very quick, perceptive, and biased judgement.
