There is plenty of talk
about the need to refocus graduate education in science,
particularly the need to redress the current "glut" of young
people with doctorates who are unable to find work in their
fields. Geoff Davis, previously an assistant professor of
mathematics at Dartmouth University and now a researcher at
Microsoft, is inspiring some grass-roots action. Using the
tools and technology of his profession -- mathematics and
the Internet -- Davis has begun an interactive web site that
brings together, in new ways, tools that graduate students
can use to find jobs and that potential students can use to
select graduate programs. As editor of the site, Davis has
culled the literature on science education and science
policy to provide site visitors with a thorough grounding in
the history and market forces that have shaped the nation's
science and science education policies. The site also
includes links to resources on networking, writing a
curriculum vita, interviewing, and writing grants.
