Subject: Re: ecologist position, Washington
I am curious as to how they plan to measure "environmentally passionate".
Is this done by a test of some sort? For instance, talking
passionately to the selection committee. This is such a strange term
to put in a job announcement. In fact, it is down right "odd". It
clearly indicates that this person will be less scientist than
environmentalist. This person will be unlikely to have an objective
skill in the area of ecology. Why not use the word "com"passionate or
"sympathetic"....but passionate? This is very odd, indeed.
