What I cannot for the life of me understand is how he was competitive, with a PhD in philosophy, for a biology post-doc.
From
"Panda's Thumb" discussion of the matter:
quote:
The newspaper is simply confusing “Doctor of Philosophy” with “doctorate in philosophy.” My experience with the local press leads me to file this under “normal.”
There is other info at the above cited, that the guy's PhD is actually in biology.
