I, unfortunately, missed the last one, so I don't have direct experience, but I think that medical and research ought to be combined. Right now, both engineering and civilians have much, larger role limits (with these events there could be thousands of staffies!). Medbay has like 12 people depending on late-joins and extra job slots and the like, research has six, engineering has seventeen (as well as generally being considered to be the most powerful), and civilians both have an infinite number of slots (which really stacks up with the high player counts of events) and most of the special latejoin roles are civilians.
Beyond players, research is super weak. Everything they can do can be done by other people (toxins = engineering, chems = bartender) and it's all considered WMDs anyway. They need some help. Medical also doesn't have much that they can do: basic healing is pretty available and making money is difficult for them.
Lastly, as it's being debated whether or not roboticists are part of the UN, that's another thing that medbay would be losing, and two more people they'll be short. If that happens, medical will definitely need even more help.
