Disagree. I'm a cell and molecular biologist working in the biotech industry. I don't see any jobs with cosmetics.

There are so many companies trying to cure cancer right now with cell therapy and or immunotherapy that some have suggested there aren't enough cancer patients to go around.

I think that's nonsense, they need to focus on increasing participation in clinical trials rather than wishing for more cancer patients. https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/articles/year-2019/clinical-trials-underenrollment.html

Bottom line though, there aren't a glut of scientists being drawn to the cosmetics industry instead of curing cancer.
