Student biomechanics question

Because the quote needed to be put into context and it now has been. I stand by my position and will happily defend it. It was not me that was suggesting that someone could not expect promotion to a senior academic position without a publication record of 40-50 publications was it Rob? So actually, I'm incredulous that it is me that is apparently being "dragged" into this.

 

Three of the full time staff at Newcastle have PhD's, the other two are currently enrolled in PhD's.

 

Hello, thanks for this forum. I am studing podiatry in Spain and I am doing a review about the reliability and validity of biomechanical foot test.

Could somebody tellme words to add to my search?

I have used: Plantar pain, dysmetria, windlass, heel rise test, pain scales, ankle, STJ, MTJ, first MTP joint, measurement, reliability, validity y accuracy .

Thank you very much. And we´ll see soon. Javi

 

Um....sorry to interrupt here...but when I was at southampton uni, i was told by one of the lecturers that the teaching staff had to have a Masters degree or working towards one.....This goes back about 5 years ago Nothing was mentioned about a PhD......

 

thank

 

Re: In reply to S. Spooner- my CV, professorship and professional integrity

I'd like to make public for the record that the complaint Prof. Jim Woodburn made against me was not upheld by the professional body.

 

I was an UG at UNSW back in '73 attempting 2nd year (physiotherapy P/T) science. I went to a Science faculty social party and expressed my wish to change from the P/T stream to genetics; to which it was suggested, by a lecturer, not to pursue genetics as it was a, "dead subject going nowhere" which reminds me of that Chicago university professor who, in the 1890?s was quoted as claiming, ?Our future discoveries must be looked for in the sixth decimal place." i.e. that there is no more to be discovered

 

I have an answer to that, but it is not printable; it rhymes with "Ollocks". I have had this said to me about anatomy on many occasions and by people that should have known better, including (at the time) a highly respected member of the Australian podiatry academic staff. If anatomy was all done, how come there are currently over 50 anatomy PhD students in Australia alone?

 

Rob, yep, he got it wrong; I regret going to that gathering

 

uh? I thought Simon's work was bunion related ... in any case, PhD's are very smart folk. A great advantage, that I can see is the PhD graduate really understands very well the research process. In addition to their specialist topic, of course. I find the greatest frustration, debating topics, occurs with individuals who have, at best, a very basic understanding of research. That can reflect in their failure to appraise well, and critique correctly, a scientific paper for strengths & weakness.
