Academia training

One final critic of the Herty proposal should be mentioned, namely Francis E. Stewart, Director of the Scientific Department of the H. K. Mulford Company. Stewart had been trained in both pharmacy and medicine, and had worked in both academia and... 

FDA assessors and inspectors will all receive technical training that has been designed in collaboration with industry and academia. 

The role of the CRC is identical to that of European or American counterparts, or may be of more complex nature because of the complicated Japanese GCP and medical system. Many professional bodies, some backed up by regulatory body and academia, provide training courses for CRCs and recent statistics showed the number of trainee has exceeded 5000 and activities of... 

For Caltech students we decided to create another path to redress this gap between what the students leam in academia and what is required to start a company. We developed a relatively short-term but very intense business training program that would prepare them for the entrepreneurial world. 

Part of the reason for the lack of natural product-based antifouhng alternatives is the necessity for expertise that historically is only found in an academic-industry research collaboration. The cross purposes of academia and business make it difficult to collaborate. Both academia and industry usually frown upon such research collaborations. The coatings industry usually does its research in-house and shies away from joint research and development programs. At the 10th International Congress, there was one report on isolation of natural products for prevention of larval settlement from an industrial source.140 This report was from scientists trained in academia and hired by a coatings company to do in-house studies of natural products. 

Now, how would that kind of training influence employment practices Let s start by taking a look at employment practices from an academic perspective, and then we ll look at industry and other sectors. One of the employment practices is the old-boy network. What happens typically in the hiring practice is, We have a chemistry position, let me call so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so. This is an employment practice now in use. In this audience, I am now looking at what I hope will become the old-or young-girl network or the women s network. The other employment practice we discussed is the manila envelope, as often used by formal search committees in academia. They get the envelopes in and then they sort them into desirable and undesirable. ... 

There are major differences between academia and industry, but these are seldom recognized in contacts between academia and industry because people who want to collaborate tend to emphasize the similarities rather than focus on what divides them. Needless to say, the academic and the industry scientist have the same formal academic training they were often classmates. But from there on, three years after their paths diverged, there are huge differences, and they are often not emphasized. But if a scientist who has left... 

The rapid evolution of the field with many techniques and disciplines involved poses the problem of the basic education and training of the personnel. While the relationship between academia and industry is frequently examined from the perspective of research and technical collaborations, it is also important to view it in terms of supply of human resources by academia to meet the demands of industry. At this level, the educational system based on the Ph.D. programs offered by universities has taken some delay with respect to the culture of the companies. A significant effort will have to be made to fill an undoubted gap in current professional education. There is also an increasing demand from the industry for basic research in organic chemistry to develop new reactions that can be employed in HOTS.
