That being said, she uses the word "irregardless" all the time and pronounces nuclear as "nukular."  Every fall term, I have to deal with his class and grad students who take it. It seems that 30-40% of them are woefully unprepared to be in such a competitive program (or, sadly, what used to be highly competitive). I've had to spoon feed how to get readings off of the magical world of the internet FOR FREE through our university's library system if they weren't available on PubMed. If you're already 2 years into a PhD program, you really should now how to do this for your drat self. I blame NIH funding cuts over the past 15 years I've been in this position that lead to fewer grants that lead to fewer faculty members having good funding/opportunities for students that sadly leads to less applicants and stringent requirements for admission. In other words, I blame the government's hatred of science/knowledge for most of the ills facing higher education in this country. /rant
