The Skeptics Guide to the Universe Forum

Watching the first episode of The Librarians. So far I kind of hate it. The characters are all Mary Sue types who struggle with nothing and between them know everything. They solve puzzles mere nanoseconds after they arrive on scene and the whole thing is basically them coasting through their adventure while being magic and smug about it (except for the one character who does math because she's the token modest nerdy character). This worked for me in Eureka and Warehouse 13 because the characters sometimes ran into actual trouble, but so far nothing has really gone wrong for these guys. Yawn.

Of course, the brain tells me that now that I've watched 83% of episode 1, I really do need to finish all four seasons.

Don't mesh around

Nailed it.

The best physicists go to work for the government at places like Lawrence Livermore or Los Alamos (or even JPL). Many of those places have strong links to academia, but the work is for the government.

Quote from: Tassie Dave on Today at 01:10:04 AMSome may go into science for the right reasons, but not every medical student wants to save the world. Some go into with the plan to be a high end surgeon making millions.

That doesn't sound like a very efficient plan, considering the amount of training you need, and the time it takes, to be a high-end surgeon.
