Novel ideas which I was working on with noticeable success left me with no papers at the end of my PhD and many rejections from potential employers. I had to leave this people eating business. Do not ask what your PI can do for you, ask yourself what you can do for him. Science and the way it operates these days is the dirtiest thing I have ever experienced in my life. They suck young blood. Good people bite the dust. Excellent article!!!

It is broken, and if you have the guts to bring some attention to this issue, you will be hero for life. I personally hope you sue our higher educational system.

I am sick of having to fight for funding and having PhD paid by us government to international students, or having to not include in misrepresented group.

I worked in lab for 1 yr, got very good experiment result... PI doesn't want to publish because of the fear of being scooped by other labs. Now, I was told by my PI that I can't use this data to present my thesis defense nor to present. But use other project as I don't have data for, as a coverup. This is costing me my graduation on timely manner, and costing me financially. I work as a lab tech part time, 30 h week 8am-4pm, because PI is out of funding, and come to lab 6pm-12pm to work. This pays my rent. I have lost my trust in academia, and I actually feel as I should get myself a lawyer to sue or have a union of graduate student to sue American higher education system to get stop this type of abuse.
