[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My husband is a cancer researcher with an MD/PhD. I don't know why the PP associates that with Big Pharma - most research is publicly funded and at NIH or other similar institutions. Since we're in that world, we know plenty of kids who want to be doctors and scientists.[/quote] We know a decent amount of kids from DS’s cohort (biochem at a t5) who are working in biotech-adjacent positions at companies like DE Shaw, Gilead and Vertex. Very few are in academic positions where public funds are running through. It’s really hard to get a good academic position for this type of work, even with elite credentials[/quote] I found it funny that people expect the most brilliant kids to take the low paying jobs to advance the human society while imbeciles like many of you aiming for cushy jobs contributing to nothing and pointing figures.[/quote]
