science in the real world.
August 29th, 2005I just had a co-worker, nay, a SUPERIOR tell me that I should look at my data, guess what the answer should be, then somehow make the data fit the answer. Does this sound strange to you? Cause I am freaking out. I have TWO MONTHS to finish my thesis and he wants me to GUESS at the data?!?!?!?! He’s an author on the paper, shouldn’t he be a little more active in this whole writing and processing data?!
I am so screwed. I just want to get through this.

something weird going on? Tried to post a link a couple of times. Maybe that’s not possible in the comments box? Anyway, see Boing Boing today for an article on scientific research and journals…
