Your site is an eye opening, invaluable portal for S&E PhDs and research professionals. I have referred your site to my extensive graduate school network here at the University of Pennsylvania. I am currently in a lab management role where I conduct my own research in a gene therapy program. Your site's posts and resources are certainly connected with the "real world" and many of its lessons should be instilled in future graduate students in the technical fields of bioscience. The information has helped me better approach a key personal career decision on whether or not to pursue a Phd. Many thanks and best wishes to your future success.
