My scientific life till present..

So the back story to why i started a blog... well I hate my post-doc, mainly the PI i found myself stuck with. This person has the ability to reduce me to tears in seconds, and before you think, oh some kind of weak crying type of girl, you my friend are wrong. This person is just bad news. They did not get their job in a legit way and are just a bad scientist. I thought the job of the PI was to mentor the post-doc and not abuse them. After reading many stories about this kind of behavior i know i am not alone. Many post-docs are abused. To give an example, i worked 5 12 hour days last week, plus normal hours on the weekend, because they demand results/data. 

Oh the PI wants their pound and a half of flesh... Then there is the fear, the fear of experiments not working and being yelled at even more and to even have job threatened. The fear of asking a question about the research and being yelled at. It was not always like this for me, I very much enjoyed my PhD studies, my PI then was an amazing man and i was never afraid of him. This new situation i am now in is making me consider leaving science. This is a frighting thought for me as i love science but i cannot stand this abuse. 

A lost soul

I decided to start blogging because i need to get these thoughts and feelings out. I spend a few hours a day searching online for the answer to my problems. I have now decided (after much searching.. that i will most likely continue with...) I should get it all out on paper or at least computer. I do not think anyone will read my blog or much care. I just know i am not the only suffering Post-doc out there. If you are a post-doc in post-doc hell, i feel your pain....

This blog is my story.
