Princeton University President Shirley Tilghman, who, as we wrote last week is co-chairing a review of the biomedical workforce research for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), decides on the subject in an interview in the May newsletter of the Howard Hughes medical Institute. As stated on the website Science Careers, Tilghman said that "changes must be made if we are to maintain the momentum of the US biomedical workforce" The post continues.
"the root of the problem" is the overproduction of Ph.Ds, she continues, and if nothing changes, the situation will worsen in the coming years. But, she adds, helpful "changes could be made to typical biomedical research laboratory structure. "specifically, it suggests reducing the number of trainees who outnumber technicians currently 10 to 1, and increasing the number of" permanent employees .... We we need to explore these options. "
