some researcher is involved in spamming?
I guess this is a good place for the quote by Einstein
"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it" - Einstein.
I'm more interested in why people chose science (maybe a new thread?) - No one out of high school truly understands what the day to day of a science career entails - so why? maybe nothing better?

But he only claims to do research, and has 1 post.... If he's a scientist he shouldn't post such silly links to fraud-websites....

How many of you really are doing research as a passion instead of for survival, and really believe what you are doing is going to solve some real problem. I believe over 90% of us will respond "no" including myself.
It used to be a passion, now it's a passion one day a week and something I have to get through the rest of the days.
For passion!!!, if were for survival I had studied other thing were I can earn more money.
Its passion... but I'm now in a semi-industrial set up, developing protocols and run routine samples. So when its development I love it and when there is routine work, I get bored. So right now, its survival, cause I would rather work here than anywhere else to make money and am taking small steps to the level called 'Passion', from where I would like to take off....
For me,
Because i am doing my master's research, in cancer and cell death, i do not feel that i am doing it as survival OR even as a passion.
It seems like someone push me to do it and because of that i have been trying to push my self to feel that i have a passion which's by the end came up a real Obsession that i could not be able to remove it from my head.
Your Question such a knife stab me in my heart
It was passion first...then swings to survival... and now I don't know.
