What can you expect to see on the TDP? Posts on the current state of the biomedical career pipeline and the obstacles that hinder or prevent grad students and postdocs from realizing their true passion and potential. TDP knows that there are a plethora of blogs, websites, individuals and organizations that focus on scientific careers. But in all honesty truth if they were working then society would not have so many Ph.Ds without job security or jobs or a future. Ph.D's would actually be doing what they set out to do in the first place SCIENCE!!! Those resources never worked for me because they were just not practical. At the end of grad school TDP still did not know what to do and scrambled to find a postdoc. But TDP figured it out and came up with a plan. TDP truly wants to help you.
