Protein dynamics comic strip series II.

This time I do not wait for 1 week to publish the next post. Here is the continuation of the series. Not too much comments needed.

Protein dynamics comic strip series I.

Summer and heat are here, I was thinking about people in India suffering 47 deg C for weeks... Then I came to this cartoon also by thinking to a friend producing his PhD thesis about protein dynamics during summer and heat records.... The next cartoon will be specially dedicated to him :-).

Light bulb series 3. - General relativists

No comment this time.

Baby names for mathematicians I. Arithmetics

Just the continuation of this series this time... Still some cartoons to come in this field of course...

Instructions for the successful PhD entrance exam

Finally I'm back to my original topic/subject (about sexism in science). Sorry, but I think that this cartoon is not a joke, but often reality. For male PhD students it is important to know things, to be able to understand and to answer questions, to think about things, to have your own ideas and to work well. Male PhD students should preferably be ugly, otherwise they may represent a kind of threat (competition) to the elderly boss, so he won't let them survive. In case of women - according to my observations - much less (and on the other hand much more) is enough (is needed). If you are willing to give adoration, understanding and consolation to old and lonely (however, often married) scientists (the boss), then the success of your entrance exam is granted, and you are just at the beginning of a nice and fruitful scientific carreer...
