【八阕】我LG就是纯种生物男，而且对生物是真心的热爱。当初无论我怎么说让他赶时髦换专业，都宁死不屈，坚决不同意。PHD毕业时，我做了件迄今非常后悔的事。LG当时已经拿到一个巨牛实验室的博士后，但被我逼着去了公司，直到现在LG看到那个实验室发CNS的文章心里还酸溜溜的。不过东边不亮西边亮，CNS文章虽然发不了了，但钱上都找回来了。第一个是几百人的小公司，股票从几块飚升到100多，小发了一笔，后来又被挖到了个全球TOP的大药厂，混了几年，现在手下三十多个人，手上每年十几米林的财政预算，工资十六万外加奖金和股票。他自己都多少年没有进实验室了，每天就是开会，出差什么的，连幻灯片都不用自己做。文章也不少，但大部分都是invited review orbook chapter. 不过人家还是羡慕那些做学问，发文章的。总是说等再过几年赚够退休的钱，接着回去做博士后 ;-)LG是很认真的人，加上努力肯干，非常得上面大头的欣赏。但更多的是运气好，手里的项目做的超顺，加上政治上站对了队，几乎一年一级的往上升，连美国人都做不到，不能算是通例。但人各有志，他喜欢做研究，觉得在公司里搞政治是浪费生命。当然如果当初真的做好多年博士后，可能就不这么想了。 Patents are a big issue in pharma/biotech companies, my LG's team once got some really exicting data but had to wait for more than 2 years to publishit, by which point it was no longer new. In industria, patents are much more important than papers. Also there are countless examples about discounued projects, not because the data are not good but due to a change of the directions among upper management. Academic people do have a lot more control over their projects which my husband prefers. most his colleagues indeed have to wait at least for 3-5 years to be promoted, they all tell me he is an exception. besides, he passed SRS level a while ago...
