New Alternative Careers Blog

Hi all
I just wanted to let you know about a new blog to which I contribute. The Alternative Scientist focuses on scientific careers that don’t follow the traditional tenure track. There are multiple authors, and so far we have posts on non-tenure track academic positions; adjunct teaching; scientific administration; industry (biotech and big pharma, no less); advice on negotiating salaries; and my own posts on marketing and grant writing.
Comments and feedback welcome!

At least it’s not “alternate careers”.

@maxine: Aww, shucks, now you’re just making me blush! Really! I’m actually flattered. But yeah…unfortunately I am a goofball…occasionally… too much adrenaline and too little time to run around in circles and burn it all off (being stuck at my Ephys rig).
@Christopher: I agree with you, indeed. In the humanities it’s virtually expected that you won’t stay in academia. But in science… well, I had someone ask me, in all seriousness, the other day “Then why did you bother getting a PhD then?”
I was momentarily struck speechless.
He was then momentarily struck by my fist.>:)
