Researchers who have worked elsewhere may not be eager to go back to a country without an adequate system in place to allow them to continue a quality scientific career. Mu-ming Poo of the University of California, Berkeley, has been trying to address this problem head-on at his Institute of Neuroscience (ION) in Shanghai, China, which is approaching its fourth anniversary. With ten laboratories now and three more to be added this year, as well as a good publication record from the mostly returning Chinese investigators, the ION appears to be doing well-which Poo, who was not initially optimistic, finds encouraging. This year will also mark the IONs first test of its tenure review system, part of a merit-based career structure that Poo feels is essential for encouraging and promoting quality science. (责任编辑:泉水) |
