“We need to change doctoral education to prepare doctors for all walks of life,” “Their skills are needed — innovation, critical thinking, analytical thinking — all of this is in demand in the labour market.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...
How many PhDs does the world need? Doctoral graduates vastly outnumber jobs in academia
PhD programmes need to better prepare students for careers outside universities, researchers warn.

Due to their aquatic environment, #zebrafish are perfect for small molecule drug screens. Many drugs have been repurposed for novel treatments such as COX inhibitors in leukemia & glucocorticoids in long QT syndrome.
