In this episode:

Tim Hunt (http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/why-tim-hunt-s-sexist-comments-were-no-joke/) incited a firestorm on Twitter last month for making sexist comments about women in lab, and he eventually lost his job over the incident.  We marvel at the intersection between science and social media, and examine the notion of sexism and bias for scientists committed to discovering truth.

We answer questions from established and upcoming PhDs wrestling with tough decisions.  This week, an incoming first year grad student trying to choose lab rotations writes: "I need to choose three rotations over the next year, and I can't decide whether I should go with a PI who is kind of new and just getting started, or one who is more established. I like the idea of more personal attention from a new faculty member, but I know the bigger labs tend to publish more and look better on a resume. What should I do?"

And a post-doc currently job searching writes: "I'm looking at my job prospects at the university level, and I can't decide: should I go for tenure or non-tenure? What are the pros and cons of each? Would I really be happy just teaching"

For ethanol, we go back to our youth with Yuengling Lager (http://www.yuengling.com) - the "fancy" beer of choice for poor grad students.

And we unpack the word "Yuengling" - learn the meaning behind the beer!
