Big biz Vs University studies anyone know of any article detailing the different approaches.

No, but I could probably help you find one. :lauramac2:

What are you writing/speaking/whatever-ing about (i.e. what specific question are you addressing), and what's your deadline?

addressing the different approaches taken by research Universities focused on pure research /advancement in science Vs big drug corps. with an eye on profits.



what they study, length of study. what are the most successful efforts on the university level vs the drug companies

Monday, and i need a good opening joke about Micheal j fox and dead babies

Is this is how you handled papers during the school era?

Are there really any more pure research efforts? It seems like most often there is at least a partnership between a company & a university, or a start up formed if the university comes up with anything.

The article isn't really related to your topic, but it gives the name of a big private stem cell research organization. I'm sure you can get more information on their studies at their website.

And if you're willing to substitute Christopher Reeves, you just need to watch the old South Park episode for your opening.

You mean sweet-talking a librarian into doing the lit review? Sounds right up his alley.

You've got a good point there.

He hasn't seen my finder's fee yet. :drunk2: Just wait 'til the UNT game.

Anyway... THRILL, I think I've found some stuff for you. We're fortunate that Rice provides alumni access to some periodicals databases, including ProQuest's science collection! Go to alumni.rice.edu and click on the Study/Travel thing. It'll make you log in with your Rice Alumni login, and then you can get to stuff.



One search I did was

(stem cell research) AND (corporate) AND (academic OR colleges & universities)

which pulled up 32 articles. Or you could do

(biomedical research OR stem cell research) AND (corporate) AND (academic OR colleges & universities)

and add in a few more -- total was 44 results for that (including the other 32). Unfortunately I can't email you a link to click on & re-create that search; you've got to type it in yourself.

I did see some sorta-promising titles in there.

This next one's a doctoral dissertation, but might still be useful. At the very least, she'll have a bibliography in there with some articles you could look up:

The following is a book review. It still discusses the matter at heart; and also, you could look for the book itself & skim a chapter or two. (Rice has it at Fondren. The call number is R854 .U5 K75 2003. Probably on the 2nd floor -- I ain't doing any more than that for you!)

Do these help?

[ETA] That's all for tonight. OJ and I are headed out to the Redhawks game (PCL AAA Baseball finals!) and it's dollar beer night.
