One for those in academia:
(all quotes from Denyse O'Dembski. Emphases mine)
| Quote | | On Thursday (12.07.06) I learned it was definite that Baylor University was revoking a postdoctoral fellowship that I held in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. |
| Quote | | My appointment as Senior Research Scientist in Baylor?s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering began November 2006. |
For those of you stuck in the real world, a post-doc is someone who has just got their PhD, and is still considered junior - they can't officially supervise PhD students for example. A senior research scientist is at least one step above in the ladder.
I was initially amused that Dembski was prepared to take a demotion, but it looks as if he wasn't, even if administratively that's what was happening.
