    Very fair point and I'm sure my advice is only reasonable in quite extreme situations. Did you try approaching him directly and ask what was up? Also, were completion dates mentioned at all when he was being hired? Maybe he technically didn

    This might be of questionable ethics, but if you put his twitter handle here, anyone googling for him will without a doubt come across your description. Google loves HN. Mention it on another high-traffic web site? Send him an email warning

    Also, the Brain Science Podcast[1] is a worthy listen if you're into this. Dr. Ginger Campbell does an excellent job with the interviews and book reviews. I was also following MIT OCW's 9.01 "Introduction to Neuroscience"[2] and found it ve
