Jump To Comment: 1Thank you for making my wife and myself "iconic" scientists. The reason
we left Ireland has nothing to do with Tyndall. Tyndall is a great place
with great researchers. Two unfortunate things, however happened. A small
one: UCC does not recognize Tyndall researchers for what they are. After
having been 7 years full professor in Belgium and 10 years full professor
at the university of California, I was not able to obtain professorship at
UCC. And a big one: the financial crash brought about by PRIVATE banks and
PRIVATE real estate investors was blamed on the PUBLIC sector. So after a
forever pay raise freeze, several pay cuts, new taxes (USC !), I could not
afford to pay the modest but very expensive 1-bedroom house I had bought in
Cork at the peak of the market. That is why I had to leave. Don't worry, I
still contribute to the Irish economy by paying my mortgage every month, as
well as the new TV tax (there is no TV in the house), the new water tax,
the new property tax, etc....... Oh, I almost forgot, patents became taxable just when I filed for a good one.... the junctionless transistor.
