In the knowledge economy, the production of knowledge and innovation play a key role for economic growth, development and technological progress. Empirical research on the knowledge economy traditionally exploits patent register data to study socio economic processes and the behavior of the actors that are involved in the innovation process. However, information in patent registers on the key individuals whose ideas, (vocational) training and behavior in the context of their firms and regional labor markets actually lead to successful inventions is limited.

The linked inventor biography data (INV-BIO ADIAB 8014*) of the Institute for Employment Research and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition address this research and data gap by exploiting the synergies between patent data and labor market biography data that are used in labor studies.

Linked at the person level, the INV-BIO ADIAB data comprise about 150,000 inventors in Germany with daily information on their employment careers drawn from IAB data sources and detailed patent track records for inventions reg

5 Simple steps for writing an interesting biography report on a famous scientist

Learning about famous scientists can deepen our students' appreciation and understanding of science. And so it's important that we add a few biographies and reports on key scientists throughout their homeschooling years.

To help you out with this task, we wanted to share 5 easy steps for writing a biography report on a famous scientist.

How to write a good bio for your research website (or LinkedIn)

Do you think it’s fun to talk about how great you are in your biography? No? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Most academics hate to talk about themselves, brag about their accomplishments or show how good they are. Be that as it may, it’s still important to do sometimes. Let’s find out how you can write a bio that is effective and that you feel comfortable about sharing with the world.

Things to avoid in your bio

Past tense. You’re not living in the past, you’re living in the present and are writing for the future.
Passive voice. Keep it active and snappy to keep people reading.
Starting your bio with “My name is…”. You’re not in kindergarten anymore. Your name will probably be the heading of the biography, so leave this out to look more professional.
Your age or where you live. It’s not necessary nor relevant.
A list of facts. It’s boring to read.

An example of a badly written biography (based on a real one):

"My name is Jacob Daniels. I’m 26 years old a
