How did I get here?

Leaving academic research is a gut wrenching decision, even if you never wanted an academic position in the first place.  I’ve always been more interested in the applications of science rather than the theories.  I like being able to have a tangible outcome from my hard work, like a sensor, a diagnostic assay or a drug.  Knowledge for knowledge’s sake just doesn’t get me excited.  I need to at the very least see a path for utility in the very near future.
