The Scientist has a small staff and a modest operating budget. What we lack in size, however, we make up for in effort and enthusiasm, and I'd compare the talent on staff to any rival. That makes us kindred spirits with institutions in the US heartland that frequently appear among surveys of the Best Places to Work in Academia even though they aren't blue-chip East and West coast powerhouses. Like those institutions, we take satisfaction from the creation of something new and different and useful, providing what we call "serious entertainment" for our life science community.
