A kangaroo jump, back to science

Rival Alain. 2005. A kangaroo jump, back to science. Science's Next Wave

Résumé : As time goes on, most established scientists find themselves spending less time experimenting at the bench and more time doing administrative things like chasing funding. It is easy to lose contact with practical things. Since 2000, I have headed up the oil palm programme at the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) in Montpellier, France. I managed a ¿6 million R&D programme involving 38 people, including 10 expatriate officers in tropical countries. This was a fantastic and exciting challenge for me, but it kept me away from my original activity and passion: scientific research. When the opportunity arose to get back to the bench at the plant industry section of the Canberra-based Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), a public research institution with strong links with industry, I couldn't pass it up.
