February 2, 2012 – Acronyms are funny things. Every field has its own language, and they don’t always cross translational boundaries well.

Have you ever been so absolutely taken by a marketing scheme that you thought was not only funny, but downright brilliant? If you are Canadian you will recognize this. If you aren’t Canadian, you will have missed out on this little nugget or marketing ingenuity. A few years ago a marketing intern with Post Foods Canada was thinking about advertising…

This gave me a good laugh today. I remember so many of these in our lab. Particularly the “left behind labcoat”. PhD comics is a humorous comic series that really, truly, does describe so many things that happen in the Grad School environment.
