11. Hoffmann, R. Private communication (10/05/03): "The research group social/family structure is one of the great inventions of American graduate education, a part of what makes our graduate students catch up to their Asian and European counterparts, when they start out two years behind (my guess) at the beginning of graduate school. The group is where two other essential pieces of education take place - the moral education, for better or worse, seeing what the professor thinks is ethically good, what he or she allows to slip by. It is also where one learns what the unspecified quality judgments of science, what work is routine, what is more than that." Cited in 40.
