Where I was (Biology Departments) they liked us because most had grants and they got about 50% overhead on the amount of the grants.Ibix said:Universities hate physics departments because they always want to spend money on oscilloscopes or particle accelerators or something.

Yeah. Some guy went through every ep and counted. Statistically, it is much more lethal to be a gold shirt than a red shirt.Ibix said:Because he hasn't done a proper statistical analysis. Gold shirts have low absolute casualties, but a much higher mortality rate than red shirts.
As they say in Star Fleet, it's not all the mission episodes that get you killed, it's one you're on during this episode.DaveC426913 said:Yeah. Some guy went through every ep and counted. Statistically, it is much more lethal to be a gold shirt than a red shirt.
