Well, my neuroscience professor told us the story where he served on a jury that related to brain injury. He thought it was odd they didn't have a problem with him.
As an aside, the defendant's expert witness explained some findings of 2 men, Santiago Ramón and Cajal. He then questioned to himself how much of an expert the witness was if he didn't know that Santiago Ramón y Cajal was the name of a single man.
I did similar. I asked for double my previous salary, figuring that's absurd. They told me that's too low for the position, so they gave me 5 grand more than what I asked for. Clearly I could have gotten substantially more.
But the way I look at it is I got a very high salary that I wasn't expecting, and the company feels like they got a deal. Win - win situation, right?
