Saturn's moons are much more likely to spread any contamination due to the presence of liquids. Liquid water on Enceldus and hydrocarbon lakes on Titan.
Not a CEO, but I am currently dealing with a very vindictive and petty VP. Absolutely no empathy or thought for others. Brings similar people on board her team and they run amock making the lives of their subordinates or others that deal with them miserable. The lower end managers are blatantly self centered, but the higher up you go, the shit just gets more polish. Capital One has been quite the nightmare.
A better option would be to employ more people in the sciences. There is still a lot to be discovered and labs I have worked in have a range of work to be done from the low skilled cleaning glassware to high skilled design of experiments.
Sure. Basically started off there working with analysis teams. You will be working with some very old school managers who follow a strict hierarchy. Things may seem golden for a couple months, but then the threats and intimidation go into full gear. I was told that I would be held liable for failures even though my manager was making the decisions which were resulting in failures. I was told multiple times that if a project was not done, I would be in big trouble.
If I spoke up about a new technology or method, I was told sarcastically that "oh you're so smart". I have been told that the work I am doing isn't rocket science.
Micromanagement has been the norm lots of digging into the details of the project by managers who don't even know the difference between Java and Javascript.
Nothing is in writing so managers frequently will bring up issues about things not getting done or taking a different direction. The politics are rotten.
I am experiencing this now at Capital One. Routinely berated, intimidated into better performance, arbitrary judgements, a lot of belittling(e.g. you're no rocket scientist), and threats (eg you are screwing your reviews, I will hold you liable, etc.).
>The future is probably artificially produced food, like the porridge / sludge shown in the Matrix. Something out of a chemical process instead of a biological one.
I imagine we can synthesize relatively simple molecules such as glucose to supplement calories when needed by astronauts.
I have a bench biology background. Have looked into bioinformatics as a career option before, but I just went the straight corporate route and got into a finance company as an analyst and then engineer. Just not enough good paying jobs to go around in bioinformatics.
Considering the time scales involved, it wouldn't surprise me if multiple planets around nearby stars happened to be seeded with earth based bacterial/archaea life.
One of the best ways to get a good handle on basic R is to switch all the Excel stuff to R. Force yourself to use only R and you will find that you have a really good grasp of the environment in a couple months.
