Every year, the readers of The Scientist get a chance to spill the beans about their institution in our anonymous Best Places to Work survey. Fill out our survey about your institution and, in November, we'll show you which place came out on top. Last year, the three top spots were taken by three types of institutions: medical, governmental, and academic, with Massachusetts General Hospital voted number one. Many researchers said they preferred the non-university setting. Who will rank highest this year? Also, take a few more minutes (seven to be exact) and tell us how much money you make. We'll analyze the results and provide you with the only salary data available for life scientists. Click here for the salary survey. The Scientist Staff mail@the-scientist.com
