About This Blog

The Alternative Scientist is a blog about alternative career options for scientists. There are many career paths for a scientist in addition to the traditional tenure track, and the goal of this blog is to provide a forum for open and honest discussions about the various possibilities.







We welcome anyone who is interested in discussing alternative science careers, whether it be to share information, advice, musings, or personal experiences. You do not have to be in an alternative science position to join us!







Do you have something to contribute? A guest post, a suggestion, an interesting link or job opportunity? Would you like to join our roster of regular contributors? If so, please email Bean-mom at sneakycat AT gmail DOT com.
