A 25 años de Chernobyl...

Quisiera mandarle a motivo de las discusiones que hemos tenido en cuanto a los progrados un artículo de Science que ví hace ya casi un mes, sobre los efectos de la tragedia en los centros de investigación japonesa:

Continuing PhD
http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110420/full/472276a.html
Many points are discussed, along with the different problems and perspectives of a growing supply of PhDs.
What i can deduce from this article, is that an ever-growing PhD supply is not a problem in a country whose industry and academia increase exponentially, such is the case for China. India is even described as lacking PhDs in accordance to its growth, with only 1% of undergraduates continuing up to Doctorate studies.
It seems that developed countries are the only ones who face this over supply of doctorates. Therefore germany has shifted the concept of PhD to be a training degree. However i agree with the statement of Dr. Ng "I see a PhD not just as the mastery of a discipline, but also training of the mind,".
Another noticible fact is that the goverments and private sectors play with the decision of increasing and decreasing PhDs as if it was a game.
I was surprised by some quantities... I didn't know that one third of PhDs in the USA never finish at all.
Well lets see how this discussion goes... on a side note that is not related to this i leave you a song that i just heard and really liked

The Simpsons were right?
I never had a doubt about my future or the decision I took (profesionally speaking), and I won't start, but this is a really interesting article of Nature about the PhD system, I think that maybe doctoral programmes need to adecuate to the new circunstances of global community, and maybe there's many PhD programmes that need to be closed, but in the other hand there's a lack of research and resources to do it, in many other areas. I let you the link and hope to ear your comments:
