Second this. Pharma prioritizes action and decision-making. Scientific excellence is important, but execution is equally important. The work is iterative. Turn the crank, fail fast, learn from the failure, improve design, repeat. You can be scientifically excellent to a fault.

An observation from the industry side, a lot of companies prefer not to hire academic scientists because they are prone to spending too much time in ideation as opposed to building+experimentation. I struggled in my job search early on due to this belief about phds in industry

This doesn’t match my experience in biotech but I have other cons I can share of working in industry. In general posts like these are good to balance out the overly skewed negative opinions about careers in academia on twitter. At the end you choose which pros & cons are worth it!

⚠️For PhDs who are thinking about jumping ship and diving into industry: Industry isn't necessarily better than academia. I have straddled both worlds. Here are 5 MYTHS about academia vs. industry:

Many folks don’t take time for adequate career self-reflection. You shouldn’t seek a senior role just because it’s the next rung on some imaginary ladder. Here are some questions for guiding such reflection. 5/5
Keith Hornberger@KRHornberger

A few weeks ago, I was asked what kinds of questions I consider for career self-reflection — a process I recommend doing at least once a year. Below is a non-exhaustive set of questions. Feel free to add more reflection questions that have helped you in the comments! 1/11

You should also seriously consider how badly you really want that senior role. They come with many responsibilities and demands on your time, and may entail very different work from your previous role. I’ve seen people promoted into unhappiness more than once. 4/5

@SnyderShot When I look at the site its not clear as to what exactly this tool will help with. Maybe showcasing an exemplar case study might be useful.

Humbled to receive the @DukeEngineering 2024 Klein Family Distinguished Teaching Award. Had a great time developing & teaching classes covering biomaterials, pharmacology, and machine learning. Impressed by our students, who will use this knowledge to create a brighter future!

Great thread and spot on! I can totally relate. Working in cross-functional teams -from bioinformatics and cheminformatics to software development and design-the sooner we appreciate the complexity of each role, the better our productivity.

“It’s just a few lines of code, right?” This is the well-known phrase for someone disregarding the effort put into software dev. Here are other insults for other functions in a genomics company 🧵:

Don’t let startups spin you tales. Ask lots of questions. Dodgy answers and things that sound too good to be true are likely red flags. The “black box” of it all makes people feel like everyone else has more, and everyone else is doing better. It’s nonsense. Seek transparency.
Keith Hornberger@KRHornberger

Strongly endorse this advice! Startups will try to spin you a tale of taking a salary haircut because of the fantastical wealth you’ll realize through equity. The present value of most startup shares is, and will remain, zero. That puts no food on the table tonight.

PS There's an assymetry of knowledge about startups vs academia as academics publish their best works and startups generally don't. If you're outside the startup ecosystem, it's really hard to know what's happening.

With explosive growth in biologics, we've decided to discontinue small molecule coverage at @drughuntersite and pivot exclusively to molecules that can be represented with squigglier lines. What is a biologic drug, you ask? Here's a recap: drughunter.com/articles/whati…
