Program 6: A Delicate Balance

This program is about "making it" as a professor. One of the marks of success for professors is earning tenure. Tenure means job security at a university. It also means that a professor's peers have recognized that he or she has made an important contribution to the field. The scientists in this program face the pressures of working in a university setting while continuing their own research.
