Listen "Pod 9 - how science became corporate"

Episode Synopsis

Another of the cuff conversation, or rather maybe the beginning of the brother discussion about academia. My honored guest is a first class professor with a PhD in history and a colorful and fruitful life that most of us can only dream about. However, his biggest life achievement is being a friend of mine, something only few dear to even try. Together we dive in to: who was and who is doing science. Some personal hatred of mine towards certain academic disciplines ( no, not economy, not this time but soon they will feel my wrath), few historical figures and most of all funding. Like in real estate, academia today has 3 rules: funding, funding and funding.
