We notice that Children’s Hospital is tweeting its own horn about coming in as No. 7 in a ranking of the best academic institutions for researchers to work. According to a survey by The Scientist trade newspaper, Children’s came in right after The Trudeau Institute of Sarnac Lake, New York.

(As the accompanying article put it, “among the winners of this year’s survey are few places that don’t automatically spring to mind as hot beds of research.”)

We don’t see any other tweets from Boston area hospitals, probably because only one other — Mass General — made the top 40 list. Maybe the folks over there thought coming in at No. 29 was nothing to chirp about.

Oddly, respondents listed “job satisfaction” as a weakness at both institutions. So, it’s clear best doesn’t mean most satisfying in this case. “Tenure and promotion,” which were also listed as weaknesses must not factor in. The survey found that “peers” and “management and policies” were cited as strong points at both institutions.
