So...while I'm certainly happy to critique our current system...I'm not sure those numbers mean very much. Aren't grants and writing papers part of "Research" too?
I'm very happy to vent about how *much* effort goes into *writing grants* as opposed to actually executing studies & analyzing data, and other non-productive or less-productive tasks...just saying this confuses me because it pulls a couple things that I think are part of...
...the whole picture of "Research" into their own boxes, leaving me a bit confused what is included in "Research" (presumably the time at the lab benches and microsopes, then?)
Agreed. What is "data storage", if not an element of research? Are these researchers gathering data for other purposes? The real travesty imo is 20% teaching time. Not enough!
Although in second thought, you'd imagine the "other admin" category is largely related to teaching, with a bit left over for the usual politics. So probably more like ~25% teaching, ~65% research, and a bit left over of the same boring nonsense that comes with any job
