How Research Works: XXVII

A SEMINAR ROOM: 10AM

FULLY TENURED PROFESSOR
Today I'll be talking about the future of academia...

SENIOR GRAD STUDENT
Oh good.  I have a bunch of questions.

FULLY TENURED PROFESSOR
...Specifically how there isn't one.

SENIOR GRAD STUDENT
Wait.  What?

FULLY TENURED PROFESSOR
There is no future in academia.  Not for any of you.  Not for this university.

SENIOR GRAD STUDENT
I think I'm going to go have an existential crisis in my lab.
