A comment on Solving a Mystery Behind the Deadly ‘Tsunami of Molasses’ of 1919. Parent comment
It kinda sounds like you think work alone should be rewarded rather than outcome?
If PHD students create useless reports after a lot of work then that's their issue. Creating busywork to justify a PHD seems a flawed process.
If PHD students create scientifically great reports then that has no place in the NYT, it's place is in scientific magazines.
If no one has modeled this before (very surprising if true) then this is very interesting news, and pretty good science to boot.
