A group of Boston-area postdoctoral students formed a collaboration called the Future of Research (FOR), and recently convened a symposium by the same name. The symposium brought together over 200 early-career scientists to share their concerns about the future of biomedical research and the need for national discussion about reforms of that enterprise. Marc Kirschner, John Franklin Enders University Professor of Systems Biology and head of the Department of Systems Biology, is mentioned. Jessica Polka, research fellow in systems biology, is a co-leader of FOR.
