Acknowledgment • Tables prepared from the SDR use definitions of variables, analytic comparisons, and formats that have been adapted from a paper published by Garrison et al.[1] The graphs for biomedical sciences (figures 7, 12 and 16) are identical to those in their article. My presentation benefited from their work, and I encourage readers to cite the original source when referencing the biomedical science data. • [1] Howard H. Garrison, Susan A Gerbi, and Paul W. Kincade. “In an era of scientific opportunity, are there opportunities for biomedical scientists.” FASEB Journal. December, 2003 and published on-line October 2, 2003.
Weaknesses in the GSS • There are no individual-level data – just data at the department level. • There are no data on postdocs not in formal academic departments. • There are no data on postdocs in any nonprofit institutions, government agency, or industrial setting.
