It is pretty much
a one-way street
. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest
deterrent
, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia outweigh any financial considerations.
Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’ s is one of them.
The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical(制药的)company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.
Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. "Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project."
By "a one-way street"(Line 1, Para. 1), the author means______.
选项
A、university researchers know little about the commercial world
B、there is little exchange between industry and academia
C、few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university
D、few university professors are willing to do industrial research
答案
C
解析
推断题。从文章的第一段“While it may be common for university researchers to try theirluck in the commercial world,there is very little traffic in the opposite direction”可推理出:高校研究者到商界去碰运气可能很常见,但是相反的方向人很少。也就是说很少有商界的人愿意回归学校做纯学术研究。所以选C,很少有工业科学家愿意放弃工作而去高校就职。industrial scientists在文中指的就是商界人士。
