1. HELPING CHEMISTS FIND JOBS IN A TOUGH MARKET. 2. TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF THE CHEMISTRY JOB MARKET.
What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.*
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

I think making up fake reviews for your products should be an instant red flag to people working there.("Yes, I know they're dishonest, but they won't screw me. Really.")
ReplyDeleteFrom what I know of Wal-Mart, it sounds like Wal-Mart has more opportunities for advancement than SCB.
I think several of my antibody-using colleagues would say Walmart has a better reputation for providing quality products.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's the fact that SCB just wound up *very deeply* on the wrong side of the USDA--as in, largest fine of its kind in agency history....
Any idea as to who owns SCBT? I tried to get that info. from public resources but drew blank. Thanks

Delete"John and Brenda Stephenson are the sole owners of Santa Cruz Biotechnology, a local antibody manufacturer headquartered on Delaware Street."
OK, sorry, I may not be right - that is a really old reference.
DeleteAccording to this 1996 article, its a couple named John and Brenda Stephenson. The company is still privately held, but you are right. There is a lack of information on ownership with a cursory internet search.

Gee, with that reputation, I can't imagine why ownership wouldn't broadcast their identities over the Internet. I guess that's what shell companies are for.
