    In the industry research is done by scientists or engineers as oppose to grad-students or post-docs in academia. I think that researchers in the industry setting is a better approach since you have a wider selection of candidates that will do the research. I’m not bashing or discrediting grad-students and post-docs, but I believe that being in the profession of scientist/engineering in the industry setting makes the scientist/engineer more well-rounded due to previous experience. Also, as mentioned in the video, the lifestyle of doing research for industry is better due to lifestyle differences where the industry setting gets the edge. Another advantage for industry setting is that projects are born with a specific reason that will be used for now. I think that making discoveries that will be used now gives a gratifying sensation where seeing results for your hard work had helped improve the well-being of the society. Also, this can lead to another subject of research for the future.
