Assuming that the aim of group brainstorming is idea generation and information transfer -- more often I've found that group brainstorming is just a vehicle for participants to chat on a technical topic and get to know each other's expertise?

I think if I've done my fair share that's enough, I have no obligation to compensate for freeloaders (and certainly not to the extent of assuming all my co-authors will be freeloaders).

I do number of submissions * 3 / mean number of co-authors on my submissions. If all my co-authors did number of submissions * 3, then collectively we have far exceeded the reviews required?

Increased distrust of health system due to polarised beliefs?

I think part of the problem in that case is that performance management is underused in academia, in favour of just waiting out someone's contract and not renewing. Perhaps if formal performance management were done more effectively, frustrations would not spill out onto a more personal level.

I agree when it's a case of personality clash. More difficult cases I have witnessed have been when a junior colleague is underperforming, and senior colleagues stop offering opportunities in a way that could be perceived as unsuppportive.

The candidate will have the opportunity to analyse the behaviour of these models, and infer model parameters using Bayesian statistics. Data for existing antivirals and/or antivirals under development will be generated by collaborators at the WHO Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza.
