Question: “I am a clinical scientist who works in a government funded hospital laboratory. Having worked here for sometime, I have concluded that the current model for funding and completing research only breeds fraud and is a waste of resources.
What bothers me more is the disconnect between public perception of scientists (ie: Objectivists in search of the truth to promote societal good) and the personalities I am surrounded by on a daily basis who are willing to make monumental logical leaps, cut corners, and distort reality just so long as they can be published.
I enjoy my profession (in the technical sense), but watching dishonest people lauded as saviors, and showered with government grants has sapped my motivation. What is Stefan’s view of government research?
Is it worth being a part of a system that is laden with so much fraud? Does it make me immoral for taking money through taxation from the unassuming public to pay for my salary? Does the current system simply need to be abolished?”
