didn't you also just have your psychological exams? ...isn't post-doc considered as transition stage? oscillating between being a student and a gainfully employed therefore tax-extorted member of society?

don't confuse us with yourself and you mean it's like a pupa from which finally a smart or beautiful professor-butterfly emerges?
well mostly not
sail
if i remember right, v's exam was some sort of protocol certification.
assay
ppffttt..I had been tested but for something else ...and I didn't even imply that a beautiful professor butterfly will emerge....just some worker bees or ants which will contribute to society....once or twice a blister beetle...
...
immuno-
well the worker ants and bees are the master and PhD students
suppressed
so the post-docs shld be the Überants or Überbees....I think they work the hardest....
memories
nope, this are the professors, postdoc is a kind of foreman
painful
the professors.....they work the hardest? really? what a suck-up......
gainful
it depends more on the person than the position, actually...some are just like drones
employment
exam was for certification to use animals.
from what i see of the professors, they go from meeting to meeting, and type on the computer a lot.
meanwhile, post docs are working all sorts of horrible hours trying to fit in bench work, with supervising students, with arranging meetings, etc.
phd students are working all sorts of horrible hours trying to finish bench work.
