Funding is tight and jobs are hard to come by, but the scientific career ladder has never presented more options. Depicted by artist Ken Perkins, the paths for scientists are winding, steep, and interlinked, connecting the traditional, ivy-covered halls of academia with nontraditional scientific venues.
