Two reports released last year—one from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Biomedical Research Workforce Working Group, and another from a presidential commission of the American Chemical Society (ACS)—explored questions about the training of graduate students and postdoctoral scientists. Although the two reports were focused on different disciplines—biomedical science and chemical science, respectively—they reached many of the same conclusions.A thin suede cover wraps around a rubberized plastic keyboard, giving the Solar Keyboard Folio an understated look and comfortable feel in your hand. The ACS report, however,Research conducted in Australia and overseas shows that D-Cycloserine helps patients to learn that what they fear is safe directly addressed a crucial question that the NIH report sidestepped: Are academic institutions graduating too many Ph.New additions to their line-up include the Mercury Ultra White Matt 405gsm inkjet canvas, 5-metre-length inkjet trial rolls of the PermaJet Oyster 271gsm and Ultra Pearl 295gsm media, an all-new Image Block Print Display System, a range of fast drying canvas protective varnishes in 2.5-litre cans, an anti-curl roller device and more.D.s for the job market to handle? The ACS commission's answer is a qualified "yes."
The two reports share several conclusions—which is not surprising because, according to chemistry professor Paul Houston, the commission's executive director and dean of the College of Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta,About one week after the FDA asked 10 manufacturers to provide safety information on DMAA members of the ACS commission read early drafts of the NIH report as they put their own report together. Both reports concluded that:
? Graduate school training is too narrow to prepare trainees for the wide array of careers that graduates pursue.
? Too many trainees are supported by research grants instead of training grants, with the result that graduate students and postdocs are too often valued mainly as a labor source rather than for their future scientific potential.
? Postdocs aren't paid well enough or given benefits proportionate to their value and training.Hordenine (N,N-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenylethylamine) is a phenethylamine alkaloid with antibacterial and antibiotic properties
Diversifying training
Although language in the report specifically highlighted the crowded market for Ph.D. chemists, in interviews with Science Careers, members of the ACS commission downplayed the idea of shrinking graduate student enrollment, focusing instead on the need for departments to broaden the range of skills they teach so that there is less redundancy among Ph.D. graduates. One of the major obstacles to young chemists finding jobs, they say, is that too many departments prepare students with the exact same sets of skills.

"They should each find their niche. Different departments have different strengths. … Maybe some departments should be focusing on environmental sciences, and another program should be focused on joint programs in biotechnology."
