New York City too often gets small credit for the amazing resources it has in bioscience," said Eric Staeva-Vieira, Program Director for the Academys Science Alliance. Here we have the highest concentration of science students and postdocs in the country, more Ph.Ds granted than 48 states and more NIH grants than any city other than Boston, yet this will be the first major conference to address the career opportunities in bioscience research for these high-potential hires. The Symposium should be electric because the insiders there will be shining a spotlight on career paths even the savviest students arent aware of."
