Greatly enjoyed this commentary. The example of IRB approvals for biomedical research is unfortunately on the mark.

How much of a full time researcher’s time is bureaucratic overhead? In my case no more than 10% but it feels like 30%.

Thank you for reading!

Even if it takes up only a small percentage of time, it probably takes up the majority of frustration (that's at least true for me)
