The changing landscape of pharma: a new route for PhDs?

As more drugs come to market and pharma’s business model shifts from selling drugs directly to fostering earlier engagement, companies are looking for highly skilled scientifically- and clinically-trained candidates. Could this be an outlet for the overflowing pool of PhD (and MD) graduates produced every year?  Read more

Why should we work so hard to make our work reproducible?

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Career paths, Collaboration, Communication, Data, In the news, Industry, Publishing, Report, Research

Why should we work so hard to make our work reproducible?

The call for reproducibility has never been stronger in the history of science. Since two major pharmaceutical companies, Amgen and Bayer, reported in 2011/12 that their scientists were unable to replicate 80-90% of the findings in landmark papers, scientific news outlets have caught up on the issue. Their reports have catalyzed conversations among stakeholders (policy makers, funding agencies and scientists) to improve reproducibility in science.  Read more

Five career tips from Ripley Ballou

Five career tips from Ripley Ballou

Rip’s had an interesting life; he started his career as a researcher at the US army’s Walter Reed Institute of Research, where he once exposed himself to malarial mosquitoes in a bid to see if his malarial vaccine worked. It didn’t, and that experience has motivated him in his career ever since. He’s now the head of US vaccines at GSK.  Read more
