Missed the "Doctoral Glut" ACS webinar? Watch it here



I don't often suggest that you spend 60 minutes watching a video, but if you're interested in hearing what economists think about the existence of a doctoral glut in the sciences, you could do worse than Professor Richard Freeman and Professor Paula Stephan, both experts in the labor economics of science. Check it out.

      The gist is that although some segments of chemical industry are going through minor readjustments, pursuing a Ph.D in chemistry remains a worthy and rewarding endeavor.

    Sadly, I can only link to this podcast (http://chemjobber.blogspot.com/2012/11/podcast-doctoral-glut-see-arr-oh-and.html) and this brief post: http://chemjobber.blogspot.com/2012/11/acs-webinar-on-doctoral-glut-be-glad.html

    I might work on another post soon.

    Cheers, CJ
