Why are scientists freelancing?
It is estimated that 50% of US workers will be freelancing by 2020. Up until now we’ve seen freelancers or contractors work as designers, developers and project managers. However, highly specialized experts are also taking the freelancing route as:
- There is a big demand for specialized expertise in small businesses
- The gig economy has made it easier to access specific skills, on demand
- The political situation makes it difficult for scientists to easily work/collaborate in some countries
- Workers enjoy the flexibility and freedom that remote working and freelancing offers
