Correct! Which also has an affect on research output. The solution is to hire lecturers whose primary job is to lecture, not to do research. This is how university teaching is handled in US institutions, and there are even post-doctoral fellowships that are teaching focused in the US. A DipEd...

And by this rationale, everyone in finance should work on Wall Street, every scientist should work for a pharmaceutical company, and every cyclist should ride for BMC. The only people in Australia should be those that work for mining companies. Clearly the education system has failed this...

I was subtly trying to imply that maybe it's just more likely that highly educated people are left wing, because they are more likely to understand the nuances of complex problems, and that they can't be...

Maybe this belongs in "The Clinic"?

Spooks (MI-5 in the US).

Wow... I've never heard THAT argument before..... However, I have an alternative proposition. While CO2 production is increased during exercise, those that do exercise are fitter and thus don't produce as much CO2 while they're resting. Overall, fit people are producing a lower amount of...
