5 个月So true. Let’s not talk about the push like KPI of researchers but those researchers crave for more insights and learning from the industry will stay within the inner circles of industry. I always say the top performing professor with multiple startups with many PhD researchers in the lab doing the actual research works are those who have stayed connected with the industry through speaking engagements and industry committees not because they want to be rich but because they are curious for more ideas insights for more research work.
