The idea of 'mutual benefit' is hard...
I think it is because we don't have any privacy. So there is no way to work out something of 'mutual benefit' that you can be a part of... Other people discover what you are up to while the idea is in it's infant stages and they quickly find a way to benefit themselves still more by leaving you out.
That's what you get for having all the data. All the information. All the applications... In a timely enough fashion to develop them for oneself whilst leaving the inventor out...
It is funny (strange, not funny haha) that this university wasn't interested in a research output. I've never known a university to be uninterested in a research output. The lady from the research office pooh poohed the subject I was interested in doing research for, even.
I suppose... The Arts are quite nice at Universities who actually care about the Arts. I suppose science / tech... It always was about jumping through the hoops and getting out to industry, or wherever...
Getting to work with a group who is smart and keen... Instead of cr*pp*ng about all day in teams at cross-purposes...
I suppose it's best to do stats for yourself. Defence. From the managers and micro mis-management that will occur if you trust them with statistics concerning you.
And all the health stuff... It's all contracted out. It's only 2 or 3 years at the university. It's all contracted out to private providers. Royal Colleges and Multi-Million or Billion dollar charities run by people who don't even have any income (poor them!)... Rattle that tin, on their behalf. Sigh.
