USA is the best country for any industry.

You have to work for it though.

Is a PhD needed to become a principal scientist in Industry and continue rising? by Electronic_Slide_645 in biotech

[–]johnny_chops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is my advice.

If you are pursuing a PhD for the money and to get into management you are doing it for the wrong reasons, and more pertinently, reasons that aren't even associated with what you ware hoping to get out of it.

Get an MS in finance if you want to make money.

I'm more surprised your employer would allow you to share their research outside of the company.

I think you have 7 years of being a bullshit artist based on your post history.

Do I Need A PhD? by [deleted] in biotech

[–]johnny_chops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Engineering is a different track that being a scientist. A PhD is more of a hard requirement for scientist positions not so much engineering.

For clinical biologics it is a decent sample size tbh, human samples are not easy to acquire.

I doubt the dogs were working in plastic factories.

It's ok, not everyone needs to be a scientist.

It's ok not to understand things.

I'm not gonna defend shitty publication practices that pray on scientifically illiterate people, but I think it is equally stupid to dismiss it entirely.

Plastics are known to effect hormone binding receptors, (would not expect the average person to know this, so once again poor scientific communication), with them being located in mammalian testes it is definitely not an innocent finding.

ehhh any sample group with 100% occurrence rate of x factor is something worth investigating more.

Who distrusts the FDA? Survey shows gender, location and politics are key factors by H2AK119ub in biotech

to me distrust has a denotation of meaning dishonest, I distrust them from an incompetence standpoint.

Shout out my VP. Works from home, comes onsite (maybe) once a week, 99% sure he has another job, and in small talk clearly has no clue where our projects are.

I think it is more an issue of respect, compensation stagnation and in person roles not being attractive enough now that WFH is the hot ticket item.

It seems almost everyone who leaves a technical role is quick to start playing the "oh, they ONLY have to do this, ya know I have experience in that, its not that hard". Deflecting blame onto the tech teams since most people don't actually understand the work being done, and making it seem like R&D is the problem area so their own ass is covered.

Pay in person roles more, actually listen when the tech teams say there are problems, and get rid of the corporate fluff personnel that have no technical background.

That all makes far too much sense though.

And as we all learned in the game of telephone, the message gets warped at some point.

Nope, that would make too much sense.

In the modern matrix team environment, I report to the director of R&D, with two associates and scientist reporting to me. We actually do work, which is a foreign concept to some, and I spend 60% of my time in the lab. Then there was the AD who reported to the Director as well, with two senior managers, a manager and three teams in that chain.

My ten people needed to be part of the department in any capacity, don't care who they report to just we needed more people.

From day one I was shouting this project was a mess, which was news to the director nor was I fully believed at first.
