Basically Harvard, and maybe Columbia and that's it. UIUC, Wisconsin-Madison, Berkeley, Michigan-Ann Arbor are orders better schools in the sciences than Dartmouth or Brown.

Also have you seen how much reporting requirements have increased for faculty? How much paperwork is needed for grants? Just today there was a story I read about a Georgia Tech professor who is under federal investigation for misrepresentat

State schools in US are often the best STEM schools. I have cried myself hoarse on HN trying to make this simple point - but except for Cornell, every Ivy League is ordinary in engineering and the hard sciences.

Not really. There is an online MS in Computers Science from Georgia Tech, that's really well regarded and will cost you approximately $8,000 for the whole degree. A lot of materials science is highly experimental, so it's not supe

In economics this is what is called rent-seeking behavior , and I think it probably is an exceptionally interesting area of research to study how financialization of industries modifies rent-seeking behavior in those industries. My own hun

Technically we already do that. Molecular beam epitaxy is layer by layer growth of crystals, some of which like superlattices can only be engineered from the ground up. Source: My PhD is in Materials Science

A few years back I was chatting with a faculty in my field at a conference. His lab almost invariably produces outstanding graduates who are really apart from the rest of the field. I asked him how did he do that, and his point was when hi
