Why the angry face? I have an invective of sorts today. I will get straight to the point. All too often I see non-scientists in positions where they control too much influence on an organization that is fundamentally a research organization. Research groups are to be managed by scientists for scientists period. Scientists should wield the most influence on research entities. The tired arguments that in order to manage funds one needs an MBA or financial background is preposterous. Scientists win the grants, and they should have the most influence over how those funds are dispensed.
Hmmm, I wonder if I feel better now.
