Actually, I have worked as a researcher in the Biology departments of two different Iowa universities, for over 5 years each, and both had very different attitudes toward research vs. teaching responsibilities. And even within a specific university, different disciplines might have completely different requirements regarding time spent in the classroom.

**Please do not generalize based on individual experience, if you have any.**

Shocker, if it weren't for scientists both in academia or the private sector doing research, the world would be quite a different place. A much less pleasant place IMHO.
