I was reading the posts for "Derek Lowe: Do we need more scientists?" by mk. And, I thought that, for the non-scientist, many of the comments may give an unforgiving impression of the reseacher mentality without proper context.

So, for the non-scientist, here is a comical rant by an obviously disgruntled but bitterly honest scientist. A friend of mine (at the tail end of his graduate studies and wits...) forwarded it to me. His attached message to the link: "I can relate to all of these. Now, I know that I am ready to be called Dr . . ."

I hope that it can be a funny read but insightful for those, who wish to better relate to a friend/brother/sister pursuing a research career.
