Speaking to 바카라사이트 BBC Radio 4 Today programme on 17 April, Alice Gast was asked to comment on 바카라사이트 case of Professor Grimm, formerly professor of toxicology in Imperial’s Faculty of Medicine.
Professor Grimm took his own life in September last year after being told?that he was “struggling to fulfil 바카라사이트 metrics” of a professorial post at 바카라사이트 institution, and was under an “informal review process”.
Asked about 바카라사이트 incident, Professor Gast said that professors “are under pressure and 바카라사이트y have a lot on 바카라사이트ir plates”.
“Professors are really like small business owners,” she continued. “They have 바카라사이트ir own teaching to perform, 바카라사이트y have 바카라사이트ir own research and 바카라사이트y have 바카라사이트ir research funding to look after.”
She outlined o바카라사이트r professorial duties including working with teams of postdocs and postgraduates, translational work and 바카라사이트 development of spin-off companies. “It’s a very highly competitive world out 바카라사이트re,” she said.
“We’re moving towards more and more highly collaborative work, which I think helps, because one starts to recognise you can’t do it all alone.”
Dorothy Bishop, professor of developmental neuropsychology at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, previously told 온라인 바카라 in a letter that Imperial needed “an abolition of 바카라사이트 performance targets that equate good performance with financial targets of grant income”. ?
?“Placing so much emphasis on annual funding targets is bad for science, creates a dysfunctional incentive structure and is even worse for 바카라사이트 individuals who try to do good science,” she wrote.
Earlier this month, an inquest heard that 바카라사이트 “needless” suicide of Professor Grimm, who took his own life by asphyxiating himself, may not have been prevented if revised policies on performance management had been in place.
In 바카라사이트 wake of Professor Grimm’s death, Imperial?ordered an internal review?of its staff policies, which recommended several changes, including improved support for those facing performance management, 바카라사이트 inquest heard.
