Yup, although it would help if some departments were slightly more transparent to us taxpayers about what exactly all those post-grads and 'researchers' are actually doing? Quite often go onto uni departmental 'staff' pages looking for contact details for people, and whilst many staff and postgrads have fulsomely justified their presence there always seem to be a proportion of mystery people......can't say I've ever had occasion to look at the Bristol one, so this is just a general observation....
