Welcome to the Broken Beaker.

Are you a grad student, post-doc, lab tech, or undergrad who is frustrated with research or science in general? Well you've come to the right place! Soon... you will find a community for research scientists to come and vent their frustrations, get help with research problems (technical or other), look for a new non-"research" science career or just hang out with a bunch of cool scientists that understand what you're going through.

What is it about research that makes you crazy?

Check out the poll in the "Research Horror Stories" forum

Submissions:

I am currently seeking article submissions from:

  • Scientists who have sucessfully escaped research or science.
  • Scientists who would like to publish something besides a scientific manuscript.
  • I am also seeking comic strips, or flash animations that involve research and science (This would be a good resume builder for a scientist that is trying to transistion to a "creative" career path.
  • Of course, you will be credited fully for you work; however, I am a starving postdoc trying to make a career transition myself so I cannot offer you any money.
