Oakes,

I have a very good sense of humor, it just doesn't kick in when someone says something that isn't funny like your previous post.

I did find your last post quite amusing, so thanks for making me laugh.

""I've worked with a lot materials scientists and even those in academia were heavily supported by industry. My employer is a large financial supporter of materials science research at MIT amongst other universities. ""


Just where do you think that the funding to build and operate MIT comes from Jack? Just where do you think the money to train grad-students, post-docs and professors comes from Jack? Industry may pay a part of funding some research, but you tremendously underestimate the role of government funding in that process, not to mention ignoring more basic research.
