The Real Science Gap

from Miller-McCune. 

The author bemoans the fact that there are so few opportunities for Americans in scientific fields after receiving costly Phds. Articles like this completely amaze me. They waste so much verbiage wringing their hands over the fact that American scientists are getting the shaft, that it just isn't right, etc, instead of looking at the system itself which rewards only profit not patriotism, not commitment to one's fellow citizens, communities, neighbors--no, profit über alles! If you accept the system, then you have to accept the consequences.
