☆ US scientists are leaving academia. That’s bad news for drug companies
  + stars: | 2024-04-01 | by ( Eva Rothenberg | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
“Science postdocs perform the science,” Donna Ginther, an economist who studies the science labor market at the University of Kansas, told CNN. Biomedical companies take scientific contributions and, over time, aggregate them into a commercial product. Building on the discovery of mRNA in the 1960’s, the technology behind an mRNA vaccine for humans was in development for decades before the Covid-19 vaccine was first administered in 2020. By using that technology to develop their mRNA vaccines for Covid-19, pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna made a windfall in profits. “That’s how they make money is through commercialization: they have a product, which they then patent and sell.”Why are scientists leaving academic labs?

It isn’t really a gift if it makes you grit your teeth.” (Reread the full question and answer here.) Women have been subtly (and overtly) coerced into doing this type of supportive, unpaid work for far too long. Should a spouse do unpaid work to support the partner whom they claim to love above all others? If the letter writer needs another reason to stop performing this unpaid work, consider the message that it sends to her husband’s trainees. What the letter writer is doing is very much necessary, yet under appreciated, much like background support has been over the years.

☆ Overlooked No More: Elizabeth Wagner Reed, Who Resurrected Legacies of Women in Science

Though Elizabeth’s name was listed first as author, a letter of acknowledgment calling the couple’s work “truly magnificent” referred to them as “Dr. In 1950, however, she published a paper on sexism in the sciences based on her study of 70 women working in the field. It found that marriage and childbirth decreased their productivity and sometimes even dissuaded them from continuing their careers. It led her to mentor women in the field through the advocacy group Graduate Women in Science. Reed wrote that it was a testimony to the strengths of these women that they pursued science despite the fact that they were “often denied entry to colleges and unable to attain professional status.”

Months after an MIT professor was cleared of spying for China, he helped make a major scientific discovery. But for me, I’m stopping that research,” Chen, a Chinese immigrant, said. The research, Chen emphasized, is still in its early stages and the material likely years away from commercial use. The failure to report specific work history, for example, had been interpreted by officials as attempts to conceal affiliations with China. “And I decided to stay and actually I’d say I’m very grateful that I got all the opportunities that occurred.
