Periodically I try to share some of the tools I'm using in the process of researching, writing, presenting, and muddling about online; I've noticed that frequently there are things I'm taking for granted that others don't know anything about (and could really use!). This time around I'm focusing on tools I've worked with in various ways for academic and other research over the past year. I think this about as close as I'll get to doing a "back to school" post, especially since it's not even mid-August. Enjoy - and I hope you find something new and helpful...

Nontraditional Science Careers: Consultant
Christina Szalinski for the ascb post
The secret is out. There is life beyond the lab or the classroom for someone with a PhD in molecular biology, especially in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. And yet many of these business careers have little to do directly with bench expertise but instead call on doctoral level training in analysis, planning, and communication. Those are the key skills that serve Jason Huhn and Danielle Haney, recent PhD graduates who are happily pursuing fast-paced, well-paid office-based careers as consultants.
