Opportunities in Biology by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Life Sciences,Board on Biology,Committee on Research Opportunities in Biology Pdf

Biology has entered an era in which interdisciplinary cooperation is at an all-time high, practical applications follow basic discoveries more quickly than ever before, and new technologiesâ€"recombinant DNA, scanning tunneling microscopes, and moreâ€"are revolutionizing the way science is conducted. The potential for scientific breakthroughs with significant implications for society has never been greater. Opportunities in Biology reports on the state of the new biology, taking a detailed look at the disciplines of biology; examining the advances made in medicine, agriculture, and other fields; and pointing out promising research opportunities. Authored by an expert panel representing a variety of viewpoints, this volume also offers recommendations on how to meet the infrastructure needsâ€"for funding, effective information systems, and other supportâ€"of future biology research. Exploring what has been accomplished and what is on the horizon, Opportunities in Biology is an indispensable resource for students, teachers, and researchers in all subdisciplines of biology as well as for research administrators and those in funding agencies.

Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology by Stephanie Grace Schuttler Pdf

Are you thinking about a career in wildlife biology? Confused about the steps you need to take? This is the book for you! With nearly two decades of experience, Dr. Stephanie Schuttler shares her journey of becoming a wildlife biologist, what she has learned about this field, and provides advice for how you can become competitive for jobs. Wildlife biology careers have changed tremendously over the few decades. A lot of advice students receive or find on the Internet is outdated and no longer applies. With more and more students graduating, the field is more competitive than ever before. Dr. Schuttler has years of experience working in and applying for jobs in research, education, and science communication. In this book, she shares her personal journey of how she became a wildlife biologist, detailed accounts of working in museums, zoos, in academia, and for the government, what has made her competitive for jobs, and why she didn't get specific jobs despite having all of the qualifications and years of pertinent experience. In addition to her own story, she goes over the types of career opportunities available to wildlife biologists, where wildlife biologists work, what educational requirements are needed, and what else you need to become competitive for jobs in this field. Although tailored for jobs wildlife biology, this book will also help those interested in other natural history fields. Reverse engineer your career by learning from Dr. Schuttler's journey to find your dream job.

Bridging Disciplines in the Brain, Behavioral, and Clinical Sciences by Institute of Medicine,Division of Neuroscience and Behavioral Health,Committee on Building Bridges in the Brain, Behavioral, and Clinical Sciences Pdf

Interdisciplinary research is a cooperative effort by a team of investigators, each an expert in the use of different methods and concepts, who have joined in an organized program to attack a challenging problem. Each investigator is responsible for the research in their area of discipline that applies to the problem, but together the investigators are responsible for the final product. The need for interdisciplinary training activities has been detailed over the last 25 years in both public and private reports. The history of science and technology has even shown the important advances that arose from interdisciplinary research, including plate tectonics which brought together geologists, oceanographers, paleomagnetists, seismologists, and geophysicists to advance the ability to forecast earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In recognition of this, the need to train scientists who can address the highly complex problems that challenge us today and fully use new knowledge and technology, and the fact that cooperative efforts have proved difficult, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), the National Institute on Nursing Research (NINR), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) requested that an Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee be created to complete several tasks including: examining the needs and strategies for interdisciplinary training in the brain, behavioral, social, and clinical sciences, defining necessary components of true interdisciplinary training in these areas, and reviewing current educational and training programs to identify elements of model programs that best facilitate interdisciplinary training. Bridging Disciplines in the Brain, Behavioral, and Clinical Sciences provides the conclusions and recommendations of this committee. Due to evaluations of the success of interdisciplinary training programs are scarce, the committee could not specify the "necessary components" or identify the elements that "best facilitate" interdisciplinary training. However, after reviewing existing programs and consulting with experts, the committee identified approaches likely to be successful in providing direction for interdisciplinary endeavors at various career stages. This report also includes interviews, training programs, and workshop agendas used.
