Anyone else here gone through an advanced degree program that required them to digest and articulate the philosphies of science? Wow, is this stuff dense. Any words of wisdom, besides chucking the whole thing? My brain hurts........

Mr. Popper's penguins? Bowie Kuhn, former baseball commish? Latkes? Sounds fun...

Am joking. You're a better man than I. But we knew that.

I read some Carl (Karl?) Popper at one point; I think I liked it. Good luck!

Thanks. I'm not sure if I'm reading Popper or he's reading me at this point. And here I thought grad school would be nothing but shits and giggles!

Just be glad you didn't have to do it at the height of PC-awareness in the late 80s.... oy.

Kuhn is ok, more simple
