    I don't doubt that and Glasgow University is great with lots of diversity (I know personally through some failed interviews, unfortunately). But what about the rest? Plus, even if biologists wanted to use perl-based solutions would IT dept provide training for it? Or would they subtly drop the "how about python? It's a modern language everyone loves" in one of the meetings?
