I can sympathize with her position. Most of the research opportunities available to this botanist are not paying gigs. Unfortunately, in the current economic climate, things are going to remain tough for awhile.

I wish her all the best.

Living the Scientific Life blogger GrrlScientist seems nice enough. I even had part of her position-wanted ad on the sidebar for much of the weekend. I opened a mild engagement with her on Madoff yesterday, we’ll have to see where that goes.

Thanks for posting such a compelling subject.

Zhou’s white paper is fraught with mathematically impossible suppositions, such as “the issuance of a STABLE currency.”

While there are many, I want to introduce just one show stopper at a time, because…well…one is all it takes.

The world monetary system is fatally flawed by the single inclusion of compounding interest.(I did get to the bottom of this John). Compounding interest creates an exponential phantom growth of the entire money supply which automatically creates massive increasing instability.

Where does the ever increasing physical (or booked) interest come from? The answer is that the Fed and other foreign issuers of currency simply print it without backing of any nature; it is a true phantom.

But more importantly, compounding interest is the primary weapon of the worlds robber barons and in the end, perhaps more potent than the atom bomb.
