If only there was a group of elected officials who could legislate and regulate industries who hurtle us towards extinction in the quest for unending profit. Wishful thinking I suppose

Totally unnecessary and is not how science works.

If you make data public before analysis, labs will get scooped with their own data. No one would invest in data collection.

Often things are found or worked out during the process, which can change week to week or month to month, iteratively. Experiments don't go to plan, data is cooked and can only be used in reduced ways etc. Researchers are meant to share their raw data anyway which should prevent this sort of stuff. Basic statistical analysis on datasets usually reveals tampering.

The issue is the insane academic standards and funding bodies (public grant $) which reward high volume and high 'impact' work. These incentives need re-evaluation and people should not be punished for years of low activity. Sometimes science and discovery just doesn't work the way you think it will, and that's okay. We need a system which acknowledges that which everyone in science knows.

Truth. It's well paid higher up the ladder but those jobs are few and far between. Depends on the country as well - the US and UK wages suuuck.

I can't complain. I personally love it and have only worked in supportive teams.

You misunderstood the statistic. Mental health issues are caused/exacerbated by academia not the other way around. Many of my cohort and friends were bullied, harassed, abused, taken advantage of by supervisors and senior academic staff who often have unreasonable demands and expect blinding unquestioning allegiance.

People who run research groups are not selected for based on their people skills but rather academic performance/pedigree, which is the biggest issue IMO.

Academia is a tough gig. Peer review and thesis chairs perform the review of candidates work, trust me they are almost always contested to varying degrees.

The technology already exists mate. Solar and wind are waaaay quicker to spin up than nuclear. It's a lack of political will due to entrenched industry buying out the political parties.

I personally don't give a shit about whichever store I use for gaming because I have no loyalty to Steam like a lot of the people in this thread. It's just a store and launcher. I wish people would get a grip.

I buy games where it's cheapest, whether that's GoG, Steam or Epic or anywhere else. I use the wishlist functions to make sure I can price compare on sales etc.
