Considering a career in MedComms? If so, you’ll have lots of Qs about who the employers are, what MedComms writers do, & how you can learn more... In this MedComms explainer video, I answer all these Qs and more: biomedbadass.com/what-is-medica… Hope it provides some clarity!

Academia or Industry? As someone who's worked in both, I weigh this up in my latest blog post: biomedbadass.com/academic-vs-in… #AcademicTwitter @The_GradGrid @nbielczyk_neuro

I created a new Twitter community for #sciencecommunication and I look forward to seeing you there. Don't forget to invite your friends :) twitter.com/i/communities/… CC: @The_GradGrid, @thesmallsci, @guleria_shalini, @ScienceUpFirst, @DeNovo_Fatima, @madsfromlab, @digitalscicomm

hey guys? i'm starting to think there are not actually enough academic jobs to go around.

@ParagMahanti @PapaPhDPodcast @BiomedBadass @verabschan @Sonali_M_19 @clcaterine @FromPhDtoLife @The_GradGrid @theboldphd @AcademicChatter Great question about the timing, and I actually wrote the whole article about it: ontologyofvalue.com/pivot-after-ph…

@MekhlaSinghania We would also recommend searching on LinkedIn for folks that are in "pharmaceutical industry translational research". Then reach out to them. And perhaps post this on the GradGrid LinkedIn Group 👇 You'll probably meet folks who you can setup an informational interview with.

PhD students who now do clinical/translational research in the industry - what did you do during your PhD to land that job? Do you need a post doc to get an industry job? @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter @academicvoices @firstphdchat #AcademicTwitter
