PhDs are in demand in industry right now because they have the ability to research, analyze, and synthesize new information at the highest level.

In today's @Nature, a study shows that remote teams produce fewer breakthroughs! Disruptive science is more likely to come from groups working in close collaboration. 'Night science' discussions may require the kind of energy that's communicated in person.
