Let’s try something a little ‘new here‘… Instead of spouting off more unfounded statements try to learn something about the GHZ either here or here.
...and was issued a $58,000 grant from the John Templeton Foundation that paid 25 percent of his salary at Iowa State for three years. Furthermore, ISU endorsed his research by administering the grant. I pulled in more than that as a graduate student. No big deal. $58K over six years is less than 10k per year.
You missed the point entirely, but beyond this, you conveniently and intentionally omitted:
Dr Gonzalez authored nearly 70 peer-reviewed papers (21 papers since 2002), co-authored a major college level astronomy textbook, his work led to the discovery of two new planets, his research was featured in Science, Nature, and the cover of Scientific American.
Now, you stated, ‘Mr. G contributed almost zero to the department in six years.’ I stated ‘I do believe Dr. Gonzales has been treated unfairly due to preconceived beliefs of others.’ Due you realize that you are merely confirming ‘my’ statement?
-authored nearly 70 peer-reviewed papers (21 papers since 2002),
How many of the 21 was he NOT the primary author. How many were in sub-tier publications? How many were really short letters rather than scientific papers?
co-authored a major college level astronomy textbook, his work led to the discovery of two new planets, his research was featured in Science, Nature, and the cover of Scientific American.
Co-authoring a textbook is NOT research. What new research did he accomplish at ISU?
BTW, the amount of grants pulled in by Dr. G was a factor of more than 100 less than the average of the rest of the staff during his time at ISU.
