Age brings the benefit of experience and looking back at my job as a professor, there are a couple of things that fall into the category “I wish someone had told me that earlier”. In this seminar, I share some of the things I learned and which, I hope, will be useful for younger scientists. Topics I will touch on include:
- I wish someone had told me earlier
- Communicate your work effectively
- Get organized
- Master grantsmanship
- Take project management serious
- Think about note taking
- Develop grit
- Getting things done
- Develop a positive mindset
- Seek fulfilment
The seminar is targeted at PhD students, postdocs and junior group leaders.
