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?
