R&D employees earn from $12,500 to over $400,000

Article Abstract:

R&D directors who are based in cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Seattle, Los Angeles and Denver represent the country's highest industry earners. A report published by Abbott, Langer and Assoc revealed that median R&D managers in these areas receive an average of $96,000 in 1998, while upper R&D directors earn as much as $400,000. Most of these employees have been found to hold a doctorate degree in their respective fields and are well-versed in analytical chemistry, biotechnology, aerospace engineering and electrical engineering.

The transistor's father knew how to tie basic industrial research to development

Article Abstract:

Mervin Kelly is known as the spiritual father of the transistor. Although he was not included in the 1956 Nobel prize in physics for the development of the transistor, he was the one who orchestrated the postwar transformation of Bell Laboratories, which invented the device. A physicist from the University of Chicago, Kelly served as head of the company's vacuum tube division since 1928. He advocated greater research freedom and utilized new theoretical methods of solid-state quantum physics in various research efforts.
