You're right that there are better existing partnerships for scientists and engineers, but I know from attending science policy conferences that it isn't enough. They want more support for entrepreneurship and more consistent rules to protect intellectual property; they also want more skills development so they can transition to policy-type careers. So slightly different Jonathan Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415175598660731706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332990649773154261.post-88084681182138574852012-11-02T00:26:05.917-04:002012-11-02T00:26:05.917-04:00Jonathan, the funny thing is as I remember that pa...Jonathan, the funny thing is as I remember that panel on graduates who took non-academic paths, some of our fellow students took offense at it as if it was telling them "abandon hope" (I can't remember exactly what they said but that was the vibe I remember).

Science Ph.D.s can and, from my limited experience in these matters, do have options presented to them in other fields simply because science research is more easily applicable to the so-called "practical" pursuits. ...much more easily Terinoreply@blogger.com
