There is more drama with the neuroscience people. The main founder and I had a lengthy chat conversation in which he revealed that he is completely unhappy with the new leadership, who are childish, petty, and intent on some sort of weird power struggle. They have been trying to jettison him from the group, including de-adminning him and booting him from the listserv (in violation of their charter). None of these people will end up getting into neuroscience graduate programs, I guarantee it; it's too small a community to deliberately exclude and alienate the people who will be your colleagues and advisors. He has been accepted into the program at OHSU, as has the co-founder, and I am astonished that the new elected leaders of the group are deliberately alienating someone who is now in a position to mentor them. It's pretty incredible.

I went ahead and started a satellite group meeting.

Oh, and they refuse to add me to the listserv. I'm sure they have some rationale, but again, it violates the group's charter.

That petty bullshit is ridiculous. I'm sorry you have to deal with it. But good on ya for the satellite meeting.

Send one polite email request to be added every week. Tell them the time and location of the satellite meeting.

Total loss of shit within a month or your money back.

How old are these people? I'd expect this kind of shit from 7 year olds, not from apparently functioning adults studying something pretty advanced.

I like this idea.  :lulz:

They're undergrads, so mostly between 19-22. I think the main problem with them is that they are kids and they see being club president/vp/treasurer as an end to itself, while the founders saw it as an opportunity to learn, network, and do outreach. They don't want to do outreach or networking because then someone else might get elected in their spot, and they also don't want to do the work of finding researchers to come talk or otherwise organizing events. They don't understand that the real value of the club is having the opportunity to go to events and meet researchers at institutions where they might be able to intern, thereby gleaning valuable experience and recommendations.

No, I am a slow learner, but not that slow.

I feel for the men at the lifting station out on Cannonball Road.  I really do.  They didn't even have any warning.  I imagine it was like being a rat in a drain pipe.
