... 30SDR sample sizes are probably not large enough to estimate parameters for underrepresented minorities, although they are large enough to estimate parameters separately by gender. 19 The major flaw in the database is that it does not adequately account for immigration especially of biomedical or behavioral scientists who earned their degree from foreign institutions.

... Both an assessment of the feasibility of transforming the transition estimates from parameters to functions that relate them to indicators of market conditions and efforts to expand the sensitivity of mode} outcomes to alternative market scenarios and variables need to be undertaken. Life-table estimates can inform science policy by exploring the implications of very different rates of change in variables of interest (e.g.
