Description
Life in a research lab can be daunting, especially for early-career scientists. Personal and professional hurdles abound in bench research, and this book by two seasoned lab professionals is here to help graduate students, postdocs, and staff scientists recognise stumbling blocks and avoid common pitfalls.
Building and maintaining a mentoring network, practising self-care, and having a life outside of the lab, understanding that what works perfectly for a lab mate might not work for you—these are just a few of the strategies that lab manager and molecular biologist Paris H. Grey and PI and geneticist David G. Oppenheimer wished they had implemented far sooner in their careers. They also offer practical advice on managing research projects, sharing your work on social media, and attending conferences. Above all, they coach early-career scientists to avoid burnout and make the most of every lab experience to grow and learn.
Life and Research is an essential guide for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of a scientific career with wisdom and insight.
