Biomedical research has never been more intellectually exciting or practically important to society. Ironically, pursuing a career as a biomedical scientist has never been more difficult. Here I provide unvarnished advice for young biomedical scientists on the difficulties that lie ahead and on how to find the right laboratories for training in the skills that you will need to succeed. Although my advice is geared towards succeeding in the United States, many aspects apply to other countries.
生物医学研究在知识层面上从未像现在这样令人兴奋,对社会也从未像现在这样具有实际重要性。具有讽刺意味的是,从事生物医学科学家的职业从未像现在这样困难。在此,我为年轻的生物医学科学家提供坦率的建议,内容涉及前方的困难以及如何找到合适的实验室来培养成功所需的技能。虽然我的建议是针对在美国取得成功,但许多方面也适用于其他国家。
