This is complete madness. Music, for instance - the physics, the maths, the notation, the neuroscience of perceptual systems etc. are all essentially figured out. Literally none of that is relevant to why someone plays your song at their wedding.

That would be extremely altrusitic. Forego your entire salary and research costs for the next generations jobs 😂

Unless a postdoc salary is insanely low in some parts of Europe I guess?

Point taken, but something is off with the maths here. I guess it’s ignoring fellow salary, research costs and overheads? in uk you t be getting more than 1 (plus some RAs) for this top line in 2014 and that’s not really changed.

Huge congrats! Excellent news!

not sure they've even got the risk aversion right. Likely both sectors, but consulting for absolute certain, are going to undergo AI-driven contraction.

Most definitely not just you 😉.

Doesn’t matter for atheortical network analyses…after all ‘rest’ is very variable.

But for the sorts of things in most ‘BWAS’ - i.e. data driven network analyses - you can just append all those sequences together to create a long one. At a glance this paper shows that for theory driven task analyses you can get away with 20-30 mins even with old school tasks

I'm very sympathetic to the plight of the sector, but some of things stretch credulity. They either indicate massive inefficiencies or creative ways of balancing losses elsewhere. Neither is a great look. The system is a mess.

Or even 0% from e.g Wellcome. But how can it possibly cost close to three times the annual salary of a staff member to administer the same role?!

assuming you use all the data - mega analysis
