Are biologists poorly trained?

-inability to properly use a serological pipette, pipet-aid, or other common instruments

I would assume that most BS and especially MS should have handled them before. If not ( e.g. because they graduated in ethology) their job choice would be a little bit weird. On the other hand it doesn't really take long to learn.

 

-aseptic techniques

Same as above I'd say. If you intend to join a cell lab one wold usually require at least some practical courses (usually even to have done one of the theses) in similar labs.

 

-importance of proper documentation

I think this is self evident. Without proper documentation the bachelor/master thesis is essentially worthless.

 

-understanding of cGMP, cGTP, and clean room regulations and standards

I assume this is tied to special techniques (like RNA protocols etc.) and is likely more a specialized case.

 

However, how is it the case with chemists or physics guys, do they similar deficits in labs?
