So starts the report, The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited, issued today by the U.S. National Academies.

The report, The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited, is a sequel to the seminal report issued in 2000 that called for significant reform.
A small number of postdocs, however, "do not face the same problems as academic postdoctoral researchers," states the U.S. National Academies' 2014 report, The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited.
Petsko served as chair of the National Academies Committeee to Review the State of Postdoctoral Experience in Scientists and Engineers, which yesterday issued The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited, the sequel to the seminal 2000 report, Enhancing the Postdoctoral Experience for Scientists and Engineers.
Their report The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited states that, in the quest for employment outside of academe, "a new Ph.D. can benefit more from other types of work experience" than from a postdoc appointment.
As last year's National Academies report, The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited, notes, "[n]o single data source measures the entire population of postdocs, and some parts of the population are not systematically measured at all".
