Hi Anothersecretprof, Iam a phd student in australia and I wanted to know whether the rumour that professors are usually not collegial within academic departments. I have heard stories where academics are usually portrayed as petty and don't get along well with each other. Is it true that professional politics in academia is petty and the atmosphere is very un-conducive for ideas and good research to emerge?
