Anyone have recommendations where to research to get up to speed on what life sciences actually is? My manager states this industry is going to be one to work in the next 1.5-2.0 years.

Only why only 1.5 - 2 years? Been in the game for a longer time and I still keep learning new things. To ZS1’s point, what are you asking about? Clinical, commercial, distribution, etc?

Are you really asking what “life sciences” is? I am not trying to be a smart a.. but this is a super broad question. What exactly would you like to learn?

Yeah I know it is super broad. I get it includes the Pharma industry - but what else am I missing? Any insights as to what other industries it includes and maybe sources to read up to learn more would be helpful.

Hello! I am not happy with my current job position. I also just found out that we are pregnant and I feel stuck.
