My thoughts on a recent living room salon we
co-hosted with the Global CoLab Network in the Washington, D.C. area will be
posted here in the next few days.
Update:
On November 29, 2016 ReImagine Science and
the Global CoLab Network co-hosted a living room salon with the attendees listed (see
side-bar).
The openness and candor of
everyone in the room struck a chord with me. What I heard from the scientists
in the room is that current institutions of science are not likely to take
dramatic measures necessary to rescue the current generation of young
PhDs. There may be hope for the future, but there is also, it seems, a
desire for life to go back to a time when successes were more attainable, when
there was more ready support and open doors.
