What are you worth?
Its not a question you can casually ask a
colleague, or even a friend. Politics and
religion might be fair game but never your
pay packet. So how are you supposed to
know whether youre getting a fair deal if
you dont know what your colleagues earn,
or what the going rate is?
Perhaps youre considering a career
in academia and wonder when youll
be able to buy a house, or thinking of
switching to the dark side aka industry
and want to know what perks you should
ask for. Or maybe youre just curious to
know how much your boss earns. Either
way, weve got it all. Last September, we
asked 5000 scientists from all walks of life
what they earn and what benefits they
enjoy. Turn the page to find out what
they said.
Once youve seen what people earn on
paper, find out what it means in practice.
On page 6 theres an insight into the lives of
three young scientists working in the
big three academia, industry and
government. It turns out that, for some, job
insecurity is more of a concern than money.
Finally, turn to page 8 to see how the
digital revolution is slowly taking hold of
science. Welcome to a world in which both
the tools used in the lab and scientists
research output are accessed via apps and
social networks, and where blogs are the
forum for scientific discourse. There could
soon even be an app for making scientific
discoveries. Are you ready for this brave
new world? If you dont know where to
begin, on page 10 theres a list of the
10 best lab apps to help you dip your toes
in the water.

The academic scientist
Who: Andrew Pontzen, 29
WhaT: Astrophysics postdoc
Where: University of Oxford
Everything in life is a
trade-off, but let me be clear
at the outset that Im not
complaining about life as a
research scientist. Im
earning a good wage just a
tiny bit under the university
average I have a pretty good final-salary
pension deal and I can work flexible hours or
from home. Its just that, like all young scientists,
my office swivel chair is positioned beneath a
sword suspended from a thin thread.
Lets cover the good bit first, the thing that
keeps me going. Im in love with physics. It wasnt
love at first sight, it was a marriage of
convenience while I struggled through my
undergraduate course. But towards the end of
those years I realised how much I would miss
studying the universe. Through a series of
unplanned lucky breaks I now get to study how
the cosmos operates, working with a
combination of supercomputers and good
old-fashioned pencil-and-paper equations. Its
genuinely fun.
Except for when its not. You often meet
failure, and you have to bounce back fast. Thats
when the love gets tested. If you are committed
enough to get beyond that, a university job
offers astounding levels of freedom. You can,
usually, work on exactly what you want. Theres
no such thing as office hours; you can take time
off when its needed. Other sectors rarely offer
that luxury.
Yet ill-defined working hours lead to their own
pressures. Theres no question of paid overtime.
You can work weekends if you like. And who
needs a holiday? You can go to that conference
instead. Every hour you spend away from work,
someone else is beating you to the crucial next
discovery, notching up a few more CV points,
edging in front of you for the next job.
Which brings me to the central problem.
Its rare for young researchers to have a
contract longer than three years. I have two
years left in my current position, after which
I am expected to find a job at another institution.
That is the sword of Damocles hanging over
us all. It pressures us into an unhealthy devotion
to work, chasing publications and that
next opening.
What this means in practice is that the people
best placed to enjoy science are those who can
see possibilities beyond it. If you can imagine a
life after science, if it doesnt matter that you
may eventually move on to other things, you can
make more considered choices and the pressure
becomes tolerable.
I dont know whether Ill be able to continue
indefinitely in this career. Most do not. My
approach is to get on with enjoying the time I
have and not worry too much about the future.
Because, despite the sword, working
in science feels like the best job there is.
The lab diaries
Now we know what scientists are worth on paper, but how does this
translate into real life? New Scientist asks three researchers
The industry scientist
Who: Liz hardaker, 32
What: PharmacoLogist
Where: Novartis iNstitutes
for BiomedicaL research,
horsham
I head up a lab
of five scientists
working on
lung disease.
Approximately
half my time is
spent in the lab,
doing everything from carrying out
fiddly analytical techniques that
require a lot of skill, to tidying up
the lab, which just requires patience.
Im also expected to discuss the
meaning of any data we generate
with my colleagues and
management team, and negotiate
the future direction of our research.
It was during a stint of contract
research that I took on while doing
my postdoc that I realised that the
part of research I enjoyed most was
identifying drugs that could be used
to treat disease. Although you can
do early-stage drug discovery at a
university, the infrastructure and
money simply isnt there to see a
new drug all the way through the
process. So I began looking for a
postdoc or job vacancies in industry.
I applied for a lab head position at
Novartis and was elated when I got
it. In the five years since, Ive had two
promotions, with appropriate pay
rises. this has brought my salary
over the average for scientists
working in industry. Im on a
permanent contract which means
I can focus on my work rather than
having one eye on what Im going to
do next.
My job has given me the
opportunity to work on multiple
projects at various stages of the drug
development process, so Im
continually learning and interacting
with people from a variety of
disciplines. I cant remember ever
feeling bored. one of the advantages
of working for a large pharmaceutical
firm is that my collaborators can be
based all around the world and Ive
had the chance to visit a number of
other Novartis sites to meet them.
the hardest part of my job is
ensuring that the members of my
team get the opportunities they
want and are able to progress with
their own careers. there have been
some sleepless nights when Ive
realised that members of my team
are unhappy and Ive had to find
ways to help them. When I manage
to resolve the issue, though, theres
a real sense of satisfaction.
As part of my job Im expected to
publish my data and Ive presented
at a number of international
conferences. this aspect of my
work means that I could, in theory,
return to academia, but I feel that
the breadth of opportunities I get at
Novartis couldnt be matched there.
Plus, I really value the benefits being
at a large company brings, such as
flexi-time, healthcare insurance
and a performance-related bonus.
After all, we all appreciate feeling
recognised.
The government
scientist
Who: AlAsTAir GrAhAm, 31
WhAT: EArTh sciEnTisT
WhErE: BriTish AnTArcTic
survEy, cAmBridGE
For some, the
decision to follow
an academic
route within a
government
research institute
is a tough one:
many of my fellow earth science
graduates secured high-flying, well-
paid jobs in the petroleum industry
before their studies were even
complete. For me, though, the lure
of the cold, a desire to explore the
unknown, and a thirst for anything
muddy and icy outweighed any
yearning to go and seek my fortune in
the commercial sector. So being an
earth scientist at the British Antarctic
Survey (BAS), specialising in the
history of glaciers and ice sheets at
the poles, suits me pretty well.
There is also a common perception
in academia that one sells ones soul
to join the oil industry. With many
friends working for oil companies,
I know this is not really true, but at
the same time my ambition had
always been slightly different to
theirs: to better understand the
planet we live on, rather than exploit
its resources. I found this to be a
common motivation amongst BAS
scientists, and its one of the reasons
why I continue to enjoy my job.
It would of course be possible for
me to change my direction, and take
a side-step into university life or
one giant leap into industry. In many
ways, the scientist in each is no
different. Day-to-day, we apply the
same techniques and methods of
analysis to geological samples and
geophysical data sets to improve our
knowledge of Earths history. The
only real difference is perhaps our
end goal. The target of my work is to
address some of the key challenges
facing the environment today,
whereas my counterparts in industry
take a more applied approach with a
clear end-product for their company.
We also manage to forego many
of the teaching duties of our peers
in university.
Having said that, the industry
or university roads are certainly
appealing from a job-security point of
view. In the current times of austerity,
public-sector science is feeling the
pinch, and the lingering uncertainty
that further changes are on the way
is something that occasionally keeps
me awake at night.
My salary, although about
average for a government researcher,
also falls well below that of other
specialists in my field, so a shift to
university work is tempting. However,
the chance to focus purely on the
research I love, the opportunity to
work in some of the most remote and
extreme parts of the world, alongside
a mix of talented scientists from a
range of disciplines, are all benefits of
the research-centric life that Id not
give up lightly. Sure, we work hard,
and dont get paid as well as those
in equivalent posts in other sectors,
but I dont think any of us are in it for
the money. n
I, scientist
DIGITAL tools have changed the way we live.
Five years on from the release of the first
iPhone, people can now explore foreign cities,
track their portfolio performance and graph
their sleep cycle all within their coffee break.
Smartphone apps, coupled with new trends in
social media, have become enmeshed in the
daily lives of the stylish, the affluent and the
slightly geeky.
But what about scientists? Somewhat
bafflingly, much of what goes on in the lab
still relies on the same pen-and-paper
methods that have served science well this
past millennium. So how is digital technology
affecting life in the lab? And will the tools that
have already made inroads phase out sciences
analogue darlings, or will they be dropped
once the novelty wears off?
In the early days of the smartphone, apps
were mainly minimalist platform games or
an easy way to find a good Thai restaurant.
But their fun-loving childhood was short-lived
and they are now more synonymous with
utility than shakable light-sabres. This has
made them an essential part of daily life for
many. One particularly useful group for
scientists is archiving apps like Evernote.
Effectively allowing you to archive all the
notes you have ever taken on a subject, be
it a voice memo or a scribble on a napkin,
Evernote and its ilk appeal to the budding
lifeloggers among us and those who need to
organise vast amounts of information.
Another popular app is Epicollect. Created by
Sarah Butcher and her team at Imperial College
London, this data-collection cousin to note-
taking apps takes information recorded by a
smartphone, logs each data points location,
and then sends it to a central server. The app
can be applied to virtually any type of project
from logging disease transmission in western
Africa to mapping your summer road trip.
People have a very clear idea of how they
generate data, but they dont necessarily have
the means to analyse it or to share it in a way
that makes it usable, says Butcher. This
becomes more of a problem as people want
to integrate larger data sets, she says. You
might have 10 postdocs all working on the
same project, generating and modelling data
of different types. They need to be able to
visualise the same stuff at the same time.
Epicollect can solve this problem.
Despite the popularity of apps such as
these, and the relatively straightforward
development process to make and distribute
them, science apps are not available in
anything like the same number as finance
or business apps. Why is this?
No one ever really thinks software can do
the tasks of pen-and-paper processes in lab
science, says Chris Seaton. He co-created the
Now that smartphones and tablets have virtually
become an extension of our bodies, life in the lab
is changing. Arianna Reiche reports

app Mersey Burns while doing a PhD in
computer science at the University of
Manchester, UK. Having been a captain in the
Royal Army Medical Corps, Seaton knew that
when people receive serious burns, medics
need to get the right amount of fluid into
them very quickly. Mersey Burns calculates
the precise quantity of fluids needed, saving
time and avoiding mistakes.
But long-standing medical practices are
hard to phase out, even when they are flawed.
Not to mention that whipping out a
smartphone in the ER may rub some doctors,
and patients, up the wrong way. But Seaton
thinks digital tools need to become an
extension of our professional minds, even in
high-stress situations. They just need to crack
on and get the fluids in. The idea is that the
app can be in their back pocket and its free
so they have it when they need it.
Not all scientists are against the march of
smartphones. For Enea Milioris, a second year
PhD student at the Institute for Child Health at
University College London, note-taking apps
have revolutionised the way he organises his
work. Of these, he prefers Evernote, he says.
I drop in protocols, data, sample lists,
scanned gels, meeting notes, presentations,
admin paperwork. Everything. The other
apps in his digital tool-belt reflect the variety
of his work. On the bench, I use DailyCalcs,
Protocols and Cloning Bench as well as the
I drop protocols, data,
sample lists, scanned
gels, meeting notes and
presentations into the
Evernote app. Everything
Social media is probably
the most forward-thinking
way of engaging with
people and sharing
information
Promega app. They are all handy quick
references and I find the visualisation of
protocols helps me shift focus.
Currently, Milioris is an outlier in his
embrace of all things digital, being one of just
a few in his department that has caught the
app bug. Thats understandable, he says,
as things can get pretty messy in the lab. Not
everyone wants their phone or tablet in the
way of salmonella, and in departments like
mine you cant put your work in the cloud
as its private data, often from patients.
Nevertheless, Milioris relishes not having
to look through yellowing notebooks every
time he needs to look something up.
Social medias presence in traditional
science can also be a touchy subject. In most

fields, Twitter, Facebook and blogging
platforms like Wordpress and Tumblr have
become accepted as effective ways of
broadening your profile, bringing with them
a vast range of potential faux pas and new
etiquette (retweeting compliments is a no-no;
the casual publishing of panda videos less so).
To tweet or not to tweet
Hugh Goold is a PhD student studying lipid
biochemistry at the Aix-Marseille University in
France. A social media user himself, he is well
aware of its complex identity among scientists.
Goold uses tools like Dropbox and the Google
suite, but his feelings are mixed when it comes
to social media networks that specifically
target professionals. I use LinkedIn for my
work life and Facebook for my social life. But
honestly, I think its very superficial to look at
someones online profile. I think being
proactive and making a phone call beats
checking someone in that clandestine way, he
says. But he does admit to using social media
to ask friends for advice. Recently I used
Facebook to troubleshoot a problem I had with
a DNA prep. Because Im friends with so many
scientists, I got a bunch of great ideas.
Blogging is another increasingly popular
way for plugged-in scientists to share
information. Scientopia is one of several
platforms for science bloggers to publish their
thoughts on everything from tornadoes to
time travel. One of its founders and most
prolific bloggers is Scicurious, a postdoctoral
lab researcher in the US who prefers to use her
online pseudonym to distinguish her online
presence from her offline career. To her,
blogging has the potential to humanise a field
which is too often misunderstood by the
public. The science culture as a whole is such a
black box to most people, she says. I love the
bloggers who write about their experiences,
who open that black box up and show that
scientists are people too.
But to Scicurious, the perception that
scientists may only be in the blogging game
to promote their research is far from accurate.
I never write about my own research to avoid
conflicts of interest. Writing about work that
is outside of my field, though, has allowed me
to put connections together for my work that
I never would have seen.
Theres no doubt, however, that the
increased exposure that social media brings
can increase a researchers currency. Writing
on a blog for New Scientist, Inger Mewburn,
a research fellow at the Royal Melbourne
Institute of Technology in Australia, described
how, as a result of her Thesis Whisperer blog,
her work has been featured in the mainstream
media, which led to requests to give keynote
talks and write books. In short, I have had
access to opportunities usually reserved for
more experienced players. It would take me at
least 10 years to achieve this kind of status and
recognition through the normal academic
fame channels of citations and conference
attendances, she wrote.
Beyond the blogging format, social
networking tools particularly Twitter can
bring an additional value to researchers. They
are linked to large groups of people, who
arent just an audience for any findings, but
also a potential vehicle for gathering data in
the first place. Alexandre Bayen, an associate
professor of electrical engineering and
computer science at the University of
California, Berkeley, has long been interested
in the flow of information accessible with
networking tools. His team has developed
Mobile Millennium, a traffic monitoring
system for the California Bay Area which
harvests GPS data from peoples phones. It uses
data taken from Waze, a social network that
allows commuters to comment on traffic, and
the team is currently looking at ways to harness
commuter-commuter interaction through
the network to produce traffic updates. Bayen
describes social media as probably the most
forward-thinking way of engaging people,
particularly as a way to share information.
Scicurious agrees that the use of social
media is quickly evolving. But she cautions
that many still need to be convinced that it is
not a waste of time that should be spent in
the lab or writing papers, but a useful tool that
can help you in your career.
So whats next to be digitised in the world of
science? Recommendations for what you read,
perhaps? Its not hard to imagine the day
when an algorithm is telling scientists which
research papers to read, just like Amazons
algorithm tells you what books to buy.
But things are already going further than
that. Take Eureqa a program of predictive
algorithms developed by Hod Lipson and
colleagues at Cornell University in Ithaca,
New York. When let loose on a set of data,
it can find the laws of nature that govern it.
The algorithm behind the software is
relatively straightforward, but the
implications are astounding, potentially
lending insight into the natural world even
to areas which are presently a mystery. Data
collection from new experiments has far
outpaced our ability to analyse it, says
Michael Schmidt, one of its developers. This
data is a powder keg waiting to go off, just as
soon as our algorithms can catch up. Tools
like Eureqa are a new way to navigate this
abundance of observation.
If such tools live up to their promise, anyone
with data will soon be able to winnow out
laws of nature. But there are major challenges.
What do we do when we have the answer
but not the explanation? Will we be able to
comprehend scientific results indefinitely?
How do we choose what to study? These will
be the core issues occupying scientists in the
next few decades, says Schmidt.
And its not just experimental data analysis
that is being targeted. Another program that
will surely occupy scientists minds if it
catches on is one which claims to determine
who should get that sought-after position or
research grant. In September 2012, Nature
published a speculative equation which aimed
to predict the future success of scientists. It is
based on the h-index, which calculates a
scientists impact based on their publications
and citations. Daniel Acuna from
Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois,
and colleagues set out to predict future
h-indices based on crowd-sourced listings of
scientists and their mentors via academic
database AcademicTree.org.
Ethical or practical disclaimers in the paper
are few and far between; the team are eager
to emphasise their models real-world
applications. Our formula is particularly
useful for funding agencies, peer reviewers
and hiring committees who have to deal with
vast numbers of applications and can give
each only a cursory examination, they write,
adding that the results offer some comfort by
showing that the future is not so random.
Whether any company or university would
actually submit their applicants to the new
equation is really a matter of speculation. But
applications like this which turn scientists
into a data point in someone elses black box
remind us that proponents of the digitisation
of science, hungry for the time-saving,
paper-saving and crowd-sourcing benefits
it promises, will also have to be prepared for
the mirror to be turned on them. n
