    *** Professors should educate students to become helpful members of the society, to create a global infrastructure for a better world. Remember! Plato, Aristotle had no companies or patents. But their teachings built civilizations! Being a professor is not "a job" but a mission.

    Advice. Relax a bit. So what if you got a low score from NIH? What if the Gordon Conference did not invite you to speak? Life is not NIH, NSF, awards and self-made praises on Twitter. Family is No 1.

    Just a small observation that few are addressing. Societies are charging about $1,000 for registration for their meetings. Isn't this an exorbitant amount? Who can afford this, plus travel, plus hotel, plus food, plus parking or other transportation? Just asking....

    When I read/hear researchers being proud of the cover pages in journals, I think what is hidden behind all this... Vanity! Well funded lab "burn" funds for cover figures. $3k to $5k paid to publishers for each cover page. Please use your funds to support poor students instead...

    They ask me how and why I read so many papers. Because without reading the ChE, BME, Pharmacy, Materials, Polymers, Chemistry literature I would be scientifically dead long time ago...
