How much time have you spent around cancer researchers? I can assure you that many of the most brilliant scientists I know are all almost entirely computer-illiterate.

If I had a dollar for every lab computer I've seen whose desktop is full of a few dozen Excel files ("data1.xls", "data2.xls", "new data.xls", "jim new data.xls"...), I would never need to apply for another grant as long as I live.
