Bonding in Boston: The importance of networking in science

A long time ago in a land galaxy far far away, there was a great gathering where those weary of the well-trodden trail of tenureships and grants repaired themselves. The gathering in question was the Naturejobs career expo, a free one-day event organized for students and scientists alike. Featuring some truly inspiring speakers, it gave a much-needed boost to my hope for a career in science that can be both emotionally and financially (yes, $$$) satisfying.  Read more

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Business, Career paths, Careers articles, Communication, Data, Research, Scientists on the move, Technology

Finding job satisfaction as a data scientist

Unlike most US students, Nathan Sanders declared his specialty as soon as he started undergraduate studies. He’d known for years that he wanted to study astronomy, but during his PhD at Harvard University he realized that the analysis itself enthralled him more than the applications for astronomy. He describes how he used his technical skills, and connections outside his academic program, to launch his career.  Read more

Five career tips from Ripley Ballou

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #NJCEBoston, Ask the expert, Business, Career paths, Chemistry, Events, Perspectives, Research

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
