Where have all the postdocs gone, part 2.

Did you "step away from the bench"? What are you doing now and how did you get there?

In recent weeks, I have talked to many scientists about their career tracks away from bench research. We are an intersting bunch. So many have come up with creative ways to use their science background. It really strkes home that having a solid scientific education is very valuable, even if you are not participating directly in science any more.

In a few weeks, I will be talking to science students about careers in science - within academia and outside of it. It would be good to hear how other "alternative career scientists" spend their time. Let me know what you do and how you got there.
