Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

By experience in academia in a rather theoretical field, for sure you'll struggle finding the new Einstein in academia. Most of the best people I know left at some point. System is at collapse.
In more applied field (lab-based) you still find good people, private competition is still not so better in terms of money and life balance. But for theoretical fields, it is a misery.
In Western countries, certainly. Not a coincidence that the Koreans cloned the first sheep and the Chinese accelerated through the 7nm chip fab barrier at a speed that made Moore's Law look like an underachievement.
There's definitely good money in engineering. Idk about private blue-sky research. I know a few guys who work at Tesla and Boston Dynamics doing the R&D work, and they have not been particularly happy.
