I think that being less tolerant of the more egregious geneticists might help things out a bit. You know the ones: They never clone anything, insistently demand a monopoly on the station budget, and are as territorial as a rabid bear with about as many social skills. If a geneticist isn't doing their job, the most that's usually done about it is barging into the lab and using the cloner yourself. Maybe try wrenching them away from the consoles for ten seconds to attend to the rotting corpses at their doorstep. If they're still uncooperative, stun them and forcefeed them mutadone, zero out the research budget, kill/kidnap the damn monkeys if you have to. Demote them to a Medical Doctor and prohibit them from accessing the lab again, give them a bunch of non-lethal but annoying/debilitating mutations and confiscate the mutadone. If the geneticists are going to be shit, we can't just let it happen.
