May come as no surprise to anyone who's worked there (i.e. me) or knows someone who has. Anyone on here work/study in that department?

My flatmate studies life Sciences. he was telling me about this too. Theres been a hoo ha about an unrelated incident of bullying during a summer trip as well.
Crazy BSc people...they should all do good ol' fasioned Master of Arts instead...

I can't believe they sacked Mrs Lawson after 35 years service and 8 months away from retirement!!! Thats shocking.

Sounds like all the top scientists don't give a crap about the guys doing all the donkey work as long as they get thier recognition and nobel prizes!

Duno how many peeps on the UGS study life sciences or work at the building, but ask caroline (balcony bar chick person) about stress in life Sciences. Im sure she'll tell ya loads.
it is a wee bit shoking like, but Colins right, these guys are literaly the BESt in the world at what they do...and i guess that it kinda goes to their head a wee bit so that they dont pay attention to the lil people.

I never knew it was quite that bad, but, im just a student (3rd yr biochem), altho at times you do get the feeling that the higher up folks are just full of themselves

BA's can get fucked. 'Mon the Bsc's !

SuperMike! · 1st March 2006, 08:29 PM

Ha! I have a BEng(Hons) AND an MSc!

humndislocation · 1st March 2006, 08:55 PM

You BEng people can be in my club, it's those BA's that can't.

Actually, those of you that have a BA in something real/useful can also join my club. Those of you that have a BA in shitting in a box, and calling it "Jesus Christ, son of god", or "the decay of society", can get fucked.

SuperMike! · 1st March 2006, 09:20 PM

Technically i probably don't have the MSc as they've not given me a certificate yet, but hey.
