The Vital Role of Scientists in Industry
Now available from SPIE Publications
How can a scientist make the biggest impact?
The traditional place to find a scientist at work is in a university lab performing
fundamental science research.But most scientists actually work in industry, solving problems and helping develop products and services.
The private sector is where sciencerealizes its fullest potential. Academic research is critical to our understanding of the universe we inhabit, but technology commercialization is where scientific discoveries are turned into practical solutions that make our lives better.
“It’s about being able to shape theworld, and I am going to be a part of it.”
-Chris Myatt, PhD Physicist and founder of two successful companies
