The “half-life” of academic scientists has shortened dramatically over time, says a new paper calling attention to the “rise of the temporary workforce.”
Following scientists in three fields, the paper’s authors found that it took about five years for a half of a science cohort to leave academic work in 2010 — compared to 35 years in the 1960s.

For the first time, female scientists had won the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics. And on Monday, Dec. 10, they accepted their accolades at the same award ceremony in Stockholm.
For Donna Strickland, receiving the call two months ago that she had won the physics prize is the only feeling that can compare, she said, to the moment when she had her scientific breakthrough.

A very common part of any job interview is the point where you walk the hiring manager through your work history. Many people do this incorrectly — and it costs them the job. Without even realizing it, they reveal their weaknesses to the employer.
The reason hiring managers ask you to take them through your employment journey is to hear your explanation of why you left each of your previous roles. They're looking for patterns.

Women hold less than a fifth of technical roles in the tech industry, and while there plenty of efforts to attract and recruit more women into STEM, that’s only half of the equation if companies want a diverse workforce. Once women land jobs in the tech field, they leave at a 45 percent higher rate than men.
To find out why, the job site Indeed surveyed 1,000 women in the field, asking about their experiences and how tech companies might retain them. They identified underlying discord that’s causing women to rethink their careers.

What do synapses actually look like? Or macrophages, the cleanup crew of the bloodstream? Can you picture the process of metastasis, the spread of cancerous cells through the body? Science can feel pretty abstract in English: the words themselves don’t teach you much about the concepts they describe. They’re just necessary bits of jargon to be memorized. But some researchers are finding ways to translate this complex language and make it more accessible.

Last year saw an uptick in the percentage of U.S. doctorate recipients who had firm employment plans postgraduation. That’s one of many takeaways from the latest batch of data — released this week — collected as part of the U.S. National Science Foundation’s annual Survey of Earned Doctorates.
During the 2016-2017 academic year, 41,438 scientists and engineers were granted doctoral degrees from accredited U.S. academic institutions. That amounted to 76 percent of the total number of doctorates awarded across all fields — a share that has generally been increasing over the years.
