It is this sort of 'personalized' news and reporting that makes Xconomy so much fun to read. This is not an article I would be likely to read in any of the MSM. I stopped my Times subscription some time ago and get my news online. Xconomy is a must to find out what is happening locally. Nice job. . I wanted to say thanks, Luke.

I stopped my Times subscription some time ago and get my news online. Xconomy is a must to find out what is happening locally. Nice job.

Research still needs to be done, even in a horrible economy. A large fraction, if not a majority, of the PhD level positions appear to be found at non-profit research institutions. The biotech companies appear to mainly want more entry-level technical positions. This seems to be continuing a trend of research being performed at non-profit institutions while corporations are interested mainly in development and clinical trials. Technology is being nurtured for a longer period of time in non-profits, before corporations take the ball and run with it. Thus the different needs for biotech companies and non-profit research institutions. It is really great to read about companies that are hiring.
