Our new scam; science

[pangur1]

In the kerfuffle about the De Burca non-appointment, MGQ's utter lack of qualifications for the post has gone almost unnoticed.

Indeed, her problem with my good friend Deirdre might have been due to horror at having another female Gaelgeoir with NO science credentials and a teaching qualification from Carysfort in the same scam.

In my experience SFI, and the EU Framework programmes - let alone Medialab and Eurotra - have almost destroyed Irish science

MGQ's lack of respect for the process of seeking truth is exemplified by the parallel justice system she ran until a judge retired to stop her by getting a judgement against her as Justice min at the High court

Would you care to elaborate a bit on the 'destroy' bit?
I would not be surprised if SFI had wasted a pot load of money but destroyed science?
Do you think they encourage plagiarism or something?

Good questions - I think you inadvertently put them in the quote from my post


This is the mechanism;

1. Really dedicated diligent academics teach their students from year 1 to postdoc

2. In their spare time, they carry out research

3. SFI appropriates a few billion taxpayers' money

4. the deadweight people whom the students do not touch have time to schmooze and hustle for ir

5. Ireland's science deteriorates

Before SFI, we produced; Boyle, Kirrane, Hamilton, the late Schroedinger etc etc

Since SFI?
