These days I’ve had many discussions on current situation as postdoc researchers. A sarcastic conclusion is 1) a successful postdoctoral earns 5£/h; 2) an average postdoc earns 10£/h; 3) a bad postdoc earns 15£/h but all of them can be unemployed at any time. #AcademicChatter

Being young researcher of this “baby-boomer” generation of academia, it is hard to build up a righteous scholarly standard. We are evaluated and known by a series of parameters set up by the authorities but not what we have done. More reformations should be on the way.

Focus on quality, not quantity. Encourage year-long sabbaticals. Grants should fund riskier, long-term projects or fund careers rather than projects. Give "scholars the gift of time".

Regarding the definition of “skilled workers”. It is us scientists who take risks to develop high tech and figure out science, or those who sit in offices in finance sectors making slides and manipulate money of ordinary people? Salary of the latter is 3-10 times higher.
