		<description><![CDATA[So, in the wake of a very busy December, I realize that we only registered two blog entries this month - a noticeable drop from November’s eleven.  But this is the realistic way forward if we want to tackle these issues with the time and energy they deserve, as these “issues affecting trainees” underpin many of the important decisions that are made in an academic career and give decision makers a sense of what trainees are thinking.  It’s a lot of information though and in recognition of everyone else being busy as well, I thought a quarterly summary of highlights would be a good idea. <a href="http://scienceadvocacy.org/Blog/2009/12/30/quarterly-summary-trying-to-make-sense-of-it-all/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
