A book project, tentatively titled Will Scientists Save Us?, that is based on the Sloan Foundation and National Science Foundation grants. Focusing on STEM workers in comparison with non-STEM, the book will examine NSF survey data linking educational experiences and work-related training with workforce outcomes, as well as placing these processes in larger historical, political and legal contexts. With Mary Walshok. A book project based on Spencer Foundation and Smith-Richardson Foundation grants, exploring how research university extension/continuing education

schools add value to their campuses and city/regional tech economies, while also helping workers improve their skills and employability, and thus stave off obsolescence. With Michael Roach. A project to understand the transitions of native and foreign STEM PhDs to jobs in the innovation economy, especially the factors that shape decisions to move to established firms or startups.
