Nature发这种垃圾,不仅是侮辱中国人,也是侮辱整个science community。
这个作者学了个MS学位,完全没有一丁点科学素养。

大家好,最近很犹豫要不要再去读个统计master~
我的情况是这样的:在西部的一个不错的学校读的EE master,学的是hardware,
circuit design方向的。今年初毕业了因为家庭因素relocate到NY。本来也没想太多,
因为没有身份问题,我想随便在纽约找个普通的工作就好,entry level的background
不是很match也没有关系。找了半年了,interview很少,很多背景不match的工作投了
简历就石沉大海。NJ有些EE的小公司,不过招的人都要有experience的,我一个fresh
master,就做过一个intern,显然经验不足。我因为一直学的是硬件方面的,软件编程
也不好,NY很多编程的工作不能做。
所以最近想重新申请NYU的math in Finance或者Columbia的statistics。
Colunmbia的统计相对容易进一些,我有几个朋友正在读,不过据说今年工作形势也很
不好。就是花钱读个学位,一年毕业。我怕到时候花了钱读完了出来还是个老大难,毕
竟这笔费用也不小。
所以一直在犹豫,要不要再去读这个统计的master,年

我目前的情况是这样的,老公一人做博后。年收入38000,我因为怀小孩(马上要生了
),暂时没有工作。准备生了找位置,但不敢保证多久能找到。想给父母再延半年,对
孩子和我们都好些。怎样写资金这块比较合理呢?我们在美国有一定存款。
多谢指点

请大家帮我参考一下,发自内心的感谢啊。
我的情况稍微有些复杂。08年来美读CS PhD,学校排名30-40,12年时候准备毕业去国
家实验室postoc,OPT申请已经批准了,不过因为算是一个个人的灾难吧,没有拿到PhD
学位。后来transfer到一个排名100左右的学校跟一个中国老师继续读PhD,因为之前
research背景也算是相对强,中国老板答应发表3篇一座论文2-3年毕业可以毕业。现在
已经是第三年,前后整了有8篇论文,3篇一座(包括一个领域内很好会议的best paper
)其余都是2座,老板不打算兑现承诺,不让开题,实验室其他中国学生一般6-8年毕业
,由于年龄比较大了,最后谈崩了,quit了转了master。
刚刚quit,现在暂时没有offer,时间上比较窘迫,我quit以后学校以我的学分修够了
,认为我去年12月份就毕业了,所以只有2-3周时间去申请OPT。但我现在面临没有OPT
的局面,因为根据自己的理解PhD的OPT申请获批后就不可能再申请master的OPT了,不
知道板上有懂的人能给我确认一下。老婆在读PhD,1年左右毕业,所以我现在还可以以
F2。不知道我是不是可以去试一试申请OPT,或者OPT和F2一起申请,请板上达人帮我参
考一下。
另外一个途径是申请EB1-a,我先在情况是18篇左右论文,10篇左右一座,包括一个
best paper。200左右citation,一半左右是独立引用。review接近10。给MITBBS上的
律师发信询问,有些律师不建议申请EB1-a,有些比较positive说应该没有问题,没有
PhD也可以。也不知道哪些律师比较好,能帮我推荐一个吗?

Lai Jiang said:
It is a shame to see Nature, which nearly all scientists, including myself,
regard as the one of the most prestigious and influential physical science
magazines to publish a thinly-veiled biased article like this. Granted, this
is not a peer-reviewed scientific article and did not go through the
scrutiny of picking referees. But to serve as a channel for the general
populous to be in touch with and appreciate sciences, the authors and
editors should at least present the readers with facts within proper context
, which they failed to do blatantly.
First, to compare a player's performance increase, the author used Ye's 400m
IM time and her performance at the World championship 2011, which are 4:28.
43 and 4:35.15 respectively, and reached the conclusion that she has got an
"anomalous" increase by ~7 sec (6.72 sec). In fact she's previous personal
best was 4:33.79 at Asian Games 20101. This leads to a 5.38 sec increase. In
a sport event that 0.1 sec can be the difference between the gold and
silver medal, I see no reason that 5.38 sec can be treated as 7 sec.
Second, as previously pointed out, Ye is only 16 years old and her body is
still developing. Bettering oneself by 5 sec over two years may seem
impossible for an adult swimmer, but certainly happens among youngsters. Ian
Thorpe's interview revealed that his 400m freestyle time increased 5 sec
between the age of 15 and 162. For regular people including the author it
may be hard to imagine what an elite swimmer can achieve as he or she
matures, combined with scientific and persistent training. But jumping to a
conclusion that it is "anomalous" based on "Oh that's so tough I can not
imagine it is real" is hardly sound.
Third, to compare Ryan Lochte's last 50m to Ye's is a textbook example of
what we call to cherry pick your data. Yes, Lochte is slower than Ye in the
last 50m, but (as pointed out by Zhenxi) Lochte has a huge lead in the first
300m so that he chose to not push himself too hard to conserve energy for
latter events (whether this conforms to the Olympic spirit and the "use one'
s best efforts to win a match" requirement that the BWF has recently invoked
to disqualify four badminton pairs is another topic worth discussing,
probably not in Nature, though). On the contrary, Ye is trailing behind
after the first 300m and relies on freestyle, which she has an edge, to win
the game. Failing to mention this strategic difference, as well as the fact
that Lochte is 23.25 sec faster (4:05.18) over all than Ye creates the
illusion that a woman swam faster than the best man in the same sport, which
sounds impossible. Put aside the gender argument, I believe this is still a
leading question that implies the reader that something fishy is going on.
Fourth, another example of cherry picking. In the same event there are four
male swimmers that swam faster than both Lochter (29.10 sec)3 and Ye (28.93
sec)4: Hagino (28.52 sec), Phelps (28.44 sec), Horihata (27.87 sec) and
Fraser-Holmes (28.35 sec). As it turns out if we are just talking about the
last 50m in a 400m IM, Lochter would not have been the example to use if I
were the author. What kind of scientific rigorousness that author is trying
to demonstrate here? Is it logical that if Lochter is the champion, we
should assume he leads in every split? That would be a terrible way to teach
the public how science works.
Fifth, which is the one I oppose the most. The author quotes Tucks and
implies that a drug test can not rule out the possibility of doping. Is this
kind of agnosticism what Nature really wants to educate its readers? By
that standard I estimate that at least half of the peer-reviewed scientific
papers in Nature should be retracted. How can one convince the editors and
reviewers that their proposed theory works for every possible case? One
cannot. One chooses to apply the theory to typical examples and demonstrate
that in (hopefully) all scenarios considered the theory works to a degree,
and that should warrant a publication, until a counterexample is found. I
could imagine that the author has a skeptical mind which is critical to
scientific thinking, but that would be put into better use if he can write a
real peer-reviewed paper that discusses the odds of Ye doping on a highly
advanced non-detectable drug that the Chinese has come up within the last 4
years (they obviously did not have it in Beijing, otherwise why not to use
it and woo the audience at home?), based on data and rational derivation.
This paper, however, can be interpreted as saying that all athletes are
doping, and the authorities are just not good enough to catch them. That may
be true, logically, but definitely will not make the case if there is ever
a hearing by FINA to determine if Ye has doped. To ask the question that if
it is possible to false negative in a drug test looks like a rigged question
to me. Of course it is, other than the drug that the test is not designed
to detect, anyone who has taken Quantum 101 will tell you that everything is
probabilistic in nature, and there is a probability for the drug in an
athlete's system to tunnel out right at the moment of the test. A slight
change as it may be, should we disregard all test results because of it?
Lets be practical and reasonable. And accept WADA is competent at its job.
Her urine sample is stored for 8 years following the contest for future
testing as technology advances. Innocent until proven guilty, shouldn't it
be?
Sixth, and the last point I would like to make, is that the out-of-
competition drug test is already in effect, which the author failed to
mention. Per WADA presidents press release5, drug testing for olympians
began at least 6 months prior to the opening of the London Olympic.
Furthermore there are 107 athletes who are banned from this Olympic for
doping. That maybe the reason that “everyone will pass at the Olympic games
. Hardly anyone fails in competition testing? Because those who did dope are
already sanctioned? The author is free to suggest that a player could have
doped beforehand and fool the test at the game, but this possibility
certainly is ruled out for Ye.
Over all, even though the author did not falsify any data, he did (
intentionally or not) cherry pick data that is far too suggestive to be fair
and unbiased, in my view. If you want to cover a story of a suspected
doping from a scientific point of view, be impartial and provide all the
facts for the reader to judge. You are entitled to your interpretation of
the facts, and the expression thereof in your piece, explicitly or otherwise
, but only showing evidences which favor your argument is hardly good
science or journalism. Such an article in a journal like Nature is not an
appropriate example of how scientific research or report should be done.

爸妈那里的意见是,经济不会一直不好,只要是好学校读出来,以后总有出头之日~
不过我和他们都不太懂统计出来工作到底如何难找,所以想来问问。
我一个朋友是2年前Columiba统计毕业的,他说他那年还不错,基本上同学都找到的。
