It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s not merely that science grad students and postdocs don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t want to grow up to become their professors or advisers; it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s also that in many cases, they simply can\u00e2\u0080\u0099t. The academic opportunities just aren\u00e2\u0080\u0099t there; there has been a marked constriction of opportunity in the ivory towers. Furthermore, many students don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t see a life of academic specialization as the best way to employ their scientific talents. They recognize that specialization\u00e2\u0080\u0099s disadvantages go hand in hand with its advantages. They want to do something more, to bring science to the rest of America.&quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/academia\">academia<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/jobs\">jobs<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The physics of why bicyclists hate stop signs &#8211; Hard Drive &quot;In their essay &quot;Why Bicyclists Hate Stop Signs,&quot; University of California physics professor Joel Fajans and Access transportation journal editor Melanie Curry write that requiring cyclists to follow the same complete-stop rules as motorists defies science. &quot;While car drivers simply sigh at the delay&quot;&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/2009\/04\/09\/links-for-2009-04-09\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">links for 2009-04-09<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"1","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-links_dump","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3578\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
