i thought the problem was that fat old manipulate men are appointed "independent investigator"

That's the same problem IMHO. Not sure about the fat being relevant tho?

no probs not. actually only the "men" but i had a particular guy in mind

Ah, OK, it came out fatmisic.

i would not go so far as to say that someone aims for a prof position in neurosci to go after bsc students.

That's not what I said.

ok then i did not get it

Sorry. I think Twitter maybe isn't the best place for this. Either way I think Psychology has more predators in it than other fields by far.
