Want to find investors for your research idea? Change the way you pitch

Many scientists hope to translate their discoveries into something useful and financially profitable. A biologist, for example, might hope to create a new line of health care products. Many use special grants or family resources to establish small companies. However, given the enormous challenges in the healthcare market, virtually every nascent enterprise needs outside funding; whether from wealthy “angel investors,” venture capital, or investment from large pharmaceutical and device developers.  Read more

Human Pipettes: Scientific training and education in biomedical research

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Ask the expert, Career paths, CV, Internship, Mobility, People Management, PhD, Postdoc, Postgraduate, Relationships, Research

Are junior scientists little more than human pipettes?

A recent cancer research symposium displayed a familiar asymmetry. 90% of the attendees were PhD students or postdocs sitting obsequiously in the rear and asking 10% of the questions. 10% of the attendees were front-sitting faculty providing 90% of the inquiries.  Read more

Multi-disciplinary Centers are lousy lifeguards when drowning in sea of PowerPoint slides

Multi-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary, translational, team science. These are the buzzwords for a consensus that transformative science requires collaboration among diverse disciplines. With scientists locked into narrow sub-disciplines, universities are dedicating enormous resources for top-down multi-disciplinary “programs,” “centers,” and “institutes” that attract diverse researchers, with the aim of encouraging more multidisciplinary collaboration.  Read more
