Tom let our postdoc go today, because we’re broke. This really sucks. He’s a great guy and a really good scientist, but I’m concerned about him. Because he’s been in Tom’s lab, he doesn’t have any publications yet. He’ll have one soon (assuming it goes out, etc.), but it hasn’t been published yet. There’s one professor in the department who has already expressed an interest in talking with him, so I’m hopeful that he’ll be able to find a new job soon.
