<p class=MsoNormal>at all MIT students who are interested in an academic
career. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The first seminar, "Academia, Industry, or Both?"
will hold a panel <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of
academic jobs, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>versus careers in industry, and the ability to work in both
fields. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The panel will be made up of scientists and engineers who
each have <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>extensive experience both in academia and in industry; all
graduate <o:p></o:p></p>
