Poor mental health is an issue for many of our readers. That fact is underscored by the response to a tweet sent by @NatureNews earlier this week, which highlighted that rates of depression and anxiety reported by postgraduate students are six times higher than in the general population (T. M. Evans et al. Nature Biotechnol. 36, 282–284; 2018), and asked what should be done to help. The figures are a shock, but it was the reaction that blew us away: more than 1,200 retweets and around 170 replies.
“This is not one dimensional problem. Financial burden, hostile academia, red tape, tough job market, no proper career guidance. Take your pick,” read one. “Maybe being told day in, day out that the work you spend 10+ hrs a day, 6–7 days a week on isn’t good enough,” said another.
The feedback emphasizes something that Nature has highlighted often in recent years: there is a problem among young scientists. Too many have mental-health difficulties, and too many say that the demands of the role are partly to blame. Neither issue gets the attention it deserves. “I’d love to see some of the comments under this thread published,” wrote one responder. “There needs to be real conversation about this, not just observation.”
We agree — which is why we are publishing some of the responses. (You can read the full thread here.)

Put them in a world without jews. A world where money and control is not what it is all about.
The education system all over the world was destroyed by jews. So was art, so they could 'feel' superior which they certainly are not.
Higher education was infiltrated by them jews to cause as much harm as possible, while those getting the education would find themselves out of jobs and out of luck. They would look around and see others getting rich doing nearly nothing and lose hope. So they feel overwhelmed, and it was engineered to be this way by the filthy jew.

Not even. Just a conscienceless troll. I really wish either the Troll mod carried a stiffer IP-karma when used on ACs, or that people would mod spam *as* Spam.

No need to remain stupid your whole life, go to a christian university even! Anything is better than maintaining the brain of a crazy old racist bastard.

I'm sure they coordinate all of this at their conventions and stuff too right?
The moneyed interests might be causing problems, but to attribute this to a single nationality, seems as far fetched as the faked moon landing ideas.
And at least faking the moon landing makes sense, the US had a lot to gain by "winning" the space race, even if they cheated. What do you suppose the Jewish people have to gain by making education too expensive? Or do you figure all Jewish people want to make the rich richer? To me that sounds more like the goal of the rich, not the Jews.
