I wonder if I can profiteer by charging everyone who sends me an email some money?

Maybe I'll ask everyone who comes and talks to me at a conference for money?

I see a good line of raising cash here.

An excellent profiteering opportunity.

Maybe I'll profiteer by asking everyone who reads one of my papers?

Oh wait that gig's taken.

Today's word of the day: profiteering

As used by the Vice Provost Education of @imperialcollege who only *thinks* we are not profiteering from prospective MSc and MRes students who apply to us with the *new* 'pilot' £80 application fee.

Ugh - just cancel the pilot already. https://twitter.com/BMatB/status/1315392674048946177?s=19

In case you haven't - co-sign the open letter asking @imperialcollege to cancel the pilot fee - link at the top of this thread https://twitter.com/BMatB/status/1314615606067572738?s=19
