Take me where I want to go: Institutional prestige, advisor sponsorship, and academic career placement preferences
Placement in prestigious research institutions for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) PhD recipients is generally considered to be optimal. Yet some doctoral recipients are not interested in intensive research careers and instead seek alternative careers, outside but also within academe (for example teaching positions in Liberal Arts Schools). Recent attention to non-acade...
متن کاملScience PhD Career Preferences: Levels, Changes, and Advisor Encouragement
Even though academic research is often viewed as the preferred career path for PhD trained scientists, most U.S. graduates enter careers in industry, government, or "alternative careers." There has been a growing concern that these career patterns reflect fundamental imbalances between the supply of scientists seeking academic positions and the availability of such positions. However, while gov...
متن کاملTuring's Theory of Morphogenesis: Where We Started, Where We Are and Where We Want to Go
Over 60 years have passed since Alan Turing first postulated a mechanism for biological pattern formation. Although Turing did not have the chance to extend his theories before his unfortunate death two years later, his work has not gone unnoticed. Indeed, many researchers have since taken up the gauntlet and extended his revolutionary and counter-intuitive ideas. Here, we reproduce the basics ...
متن کاملSometimes You Want to Go Where Everybody Knows your Name
We introduce a new metric for measuring how well a model personalizes to a user's specific preferences. We define personalization as a weighting between performance on user specific data and performance on a more general global dataset that represents many different users. This global term serves as a form of regularization that forces us to not overfit to individual users who have small amount...
متن کاملWhere do you want to go today [ in attribute space ] ?
This paper proposes to conceptualize a geographic trajectory as an attribute-time path (ATP) traversing an n-dimensional attribute space. Geographic entities occupying a certain study area are conceptualized as discrete loci in that same n-dimensional space. Those entities undergo spatialization and the resulting point locations become vertices as the ATP is projected into lower dimensions to f...
