[Academic Secret] New comment on Graduate school is not for babies..

slainna has left a new comment on your post "Graduate school is not for babies.":

This is really a complicated subject. I started school late; I will finish my undergrad when I am 27, and will start graduate school that year. I figure I'll finish when I'm 33-35. If it takes 5-6 years to land tenure I'll be anywhere from 38 to 41 by then.

Thankfully, women in my family go through menopause in their late 50s but what about the health of the baby? I'm not suggesting organic chemistry labs be turned into a day care but forbidding female scientists to have babies seems to be shoving society one step further to the world of Idiocracy.
