Predicts that current National Institutes of Health research training programs for surgeons will need to be boubled if an adequate supply of scientifically trained research surgeons is to be maintained. (AL)

A survey, taken in mid-1973, indicates that the scientific manpower market situation has improved. The overall unemployment rate for people holding a doctorate in science or engineering is 1.2 percent. (PEB)

Examines the response of physics graduate enrollments to projections of employment for Ph.D. graduates and proposes that equivalent data be collected for other subject fields to facilitate similar studies for all areas. (AL)

Criticizes the conclusions and analyses of an earlier paper (EJ 036 385) and concludes that the problem (apparent oversupply of Ph.D.'s) is one of political allocation of resources and not one of too many people with too much education. (AL)

In recent years a profound transformation has occurred in the environment for the conduct of research in the natural sciences and engineering in the United States since about 1967. Discussed are recent employment changes, the social role of scientists, and future needs for scientists. (Author/RH)

Criticizes presidential message on science and technology for discussing policy and philosophy rather than specific programs for their implementation. (AL)

Considers that the supply of new scientists and engineers will eventually become limited by the availability of motivated and able young people. Population, enrollment, and employment projections to 1990 suggest that a shortage of graduates will occur in the 1980's. (AL)

Examines trends in both the numbers of graduating scientists and engineers and the demand for technological specialists in these fields. Indicates that the energy and environmental programs will create a demand for large numbers of scientists and engineers in a variety of traditional and interdisciplinary fields. (JR)

A more extensive review of the National Academy of Sciences report Physics in Perspective'', (D. A. Bromley, Ed.) than appears in SE 506 510. Describes major conclusions concerning graduate training, areas of future research emphasis, and the need for public education concerning the nature of physics. Suggests priorities for the allocation of…
