I looked back in the forums for a bit and I didn't see anyone post this up. This is a link to a graph I have seen around lately. Or more specifically the Nature Biotech article that includes the graph.
Food for thought for anyone.
Nature Biotech article
The graph is no surprise. We cannot get away from the fact that PhD students are seen as cheap labour by many University departments.
I notice that graph is for Science and Engineering where I thought figures would be slightly better and that is also the USA. Can we say how well these USA figures compare with the rest of the world?
