Essay Writing
So, you’ve been assigned to write an essay, but you’re afraid that you won’t know how to begin or what information you’re going to include.

Three Reasons Research Scientists Should Avoid Programming and Data Analytics
Intro and caveats I recently read an article in which and engineer extolled the virtues of learning to program, and the value of advanced data analytics to his career. The article was persuasive and I have little doubt the advantages he mentioned were real. However, he was an engineer, not a scientist and what holds true for the one does not hold true for the other in this case. In fact I argue that learning to program or spending your valuable time building expertise in advanced data analytics is to the overall detriment of your career in research science. Obviously what I am about to say here will not apply in 100% of cases. No doubt there will be some exceptions, particularly in the “hard sciences” [e.g. experimental or theoretical physics (programming and data analytics)] or even the social “sciences” [e.g. psychology or behavioral science (data analytics)] there may be advantages or even a need for said skill sets, but I would suggest the standard training provided in the curriculum for those fields would already provide to the extent needed and therefore these comments would not apply. Therefore I will restrict my comments to research in the sciences in fields where the standard education/training programs would not normally include programming or advanced data analytics (except in a few special cases). Mainly of course I am thinking of the biological/life sciences though there are certainly others. With those caveats in mind, there are three reasons why I believe this is the case.

It's Story Time Boys and Girls
Today in our story, let’s build a polypeptide. Imagine if you will, a big hotel (in a super big hotel chain) in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Therein worked a Master Chef, Maurice (just like any of the other Master Chefs that worked in any of the other 50 trillion hotels in the chain). Maurice had just received a very important e-mail message from the CEO of the chain, Mr. Smithers (no relation). The message stated that several of the hotels in the Tri-State area were desperately short of Maurice’s very famous frosted chocolate brownies (according to the latest hotel customer satisfaction surveys). Mr. Smithers requested that Maurice search through his unbelievably huge recipe file and find the recipe for frosted chocolate brownies and get them made, pronto, and keep getting them made until all the people in the hotels in the area had enough of those frosted chocolate brownies – his very famous frosted chocolate brownies.
