Strange Brew by John Deering for January 31, 2021

PHB of the lab

The answer is 42, find the question.

Amazeing

If the mice find their way out of the maze, perhaps they should be put on the payroll.

“I found a mouse.”

Seems to me he wants to schedule invention. Had a couple managers like that over the years.

“Well, our lab testing shows that people who neither understand science or how to manage people, end up in charge of labs, and no matter how competently staffed, prevent any significant scientific progress. This we will call the %€$!@ Phenomenon.”

Sorry boss, this is science, not a Supreme Court nomination.

or else…it’s flowers for Algernon.

We have all the tools, now all we need is a project.

We discovered we’ve used the whole budget already.

The answer is to quit abusing the mice.

With the right grant writer you can get funding for anything.

Don’t forget the Vermont sharp cheddar.

Misbehavioral science.

The mice own the cheese now and have no reason to run a maze. Learn from that.

I discovered that we spent all our money and got no results.

Aha! Ivory soap floats!

They’ve already found it – a way to waste money!

“Turn up the juice on grid number three, we have to make these results match

yep – if we don’t we will lose all our funding and the mouse will be out of a job – so do WHATEVER it takes to be sure we come up with ‘results’ even if those results are opinions, theories, arguments, lies, just pretend and call them researched truth(at least till we get caught lying and then lie some more and maybe they will accept even IF it is a lie) – cause funding is more important than ANYTHING! and be SURE that we ALL “follow the science”

The best laid plans of mice and maze…
