I have done research in academia but not for industry. Based on what Dr.Simon has stated about academia in terms of research is 100% true for the most part. The timeline for doing experiments and in general research is not stressful. The time associated with doing research is at a relaxed pace. The quality of results versus pumping out “stuff” is more satisfying as well. In the industry I know the drive to pump out data will be an issue because of the time restraint put on you as Dr.Simon stated. The ability to visit conferences is always fun as well because you get to met people of all different educational backgrounds and nationalities.
