I also have a BS in chemistry, and a PhD in biomedical engineering, just graduated last month. I've been applying to 30-40 IP firms from a few months back with no luck. There are a good number of firms looking for PhDs in materials/life sciences, but they want experienced patent agents. Major IP...
I've interned at a patent firm and I found the work mentally challenging and very demanding. The partner I worked under stayed in office 10-11 hrs, six days a week, barely taking a lunch break. Is this typically to be expected in the IP career path, and does it get easier? One would expect...
I guess my main point of confusion is when people explain atmospheric pressure to me as a column of air above our heads, extending miles into the air, which would mean the 101kPa pressure is from the billions of air molecules pressing down on my head, which makes sense only if you're outdoors
ok, so I guess a better explanation of atmospheric pressure is that there is a density gradient of air, with the density being heaviest at ground level?
Hi, apologies in advance as I feel stupid for asking this, but believe me I tried googling. The typical explanation for atmospheric pressure is that there is a column of air sitting on us, creating a pressure of 101 kPa. But what if there's a ceiling above us? Now only a few feet of molecules...
