Pharmaceutical
Online The Magazine 2012
The issue of science education frequently comes up in my discussions with life sciences industry members — from engineers and researchers to big pharma VPs. I'm also married to a science teacher, so this topic regularly infiltrates my family's dinner table conversations. (On more than one occasion, my husband has expressed frustration over his school curriculum placing more importance on filling out bubbles on worksheets than on real-life learning.) Everyone, it seems, feels like the United States just isn't doing a good job of producing new engineers and scientists. Some 40% of engineering and science majors either switch subjects or never earn a degree — and that number increases to 60% if you count medical students, according to recent studies. So, how do we keep kids interested in technology and science? On two life sciences LinkedIn groups, I asked this question: "If you could give one piece of advice to today's science educators (from elementary on up), what would it be? And why?" Read the full article and share your thoughts here.
