Are you in love?

Yet another rather reductionist approach to interpreting brain activity- an article outlining the brain regions and neurotransmitters that are engaged when a person is in love. Appropriately, this article was published on Valentine's day.

Too many PhDs?

When Eric Kandel visited UCSF, one of the professors asked him if we (graduate schools in this country) are training too many scientists. Kandel shook his head firmly and simply said that we are always in need of new ideas and therefore new scientists. However, this recent article in Nature Medicine indicates that there is not a sustainable number of jobs in the biomedical industry because too many students are being trained to be scientists. Thoughts anyone?
