How to succeed in science: a concise guide for young biomedical scientists

Below is a recommendation by a peer to an interesting article for people starting in the biomedical science field:

"Jonathan Yewdell published an interesting essay in Nature Reviews Mol Cell Biol recently. The essay is an odd mix of massively discouraging and heart-warming. He starts by basically telling all young PIs to run for their lives away from a career in academic research, due in part to the shortage of funding and positions, as well as the multiple hardships of the job. He then goes on to say that you should do science only"

Here's recommendating the article to all young biomedical/life scientists out there!
