Mentorship for Young Scientists: Developing Scientific Survival Skills
Abstract: In this lecture, Dr. Rosei will convey the teachings for his course on “Survival Skills for Scientists” . This is a graduate course designed and developed in Dr. Rosei’s department, where he provides guidance and offers mentorship to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The central theme of this presentation is that succeeding in Science requires skills (often referred to as ‘soft professional skills’) beyond those needed for Science. The lecture aims at giving basic guidance and mentoring to young scientists (typically science and engineering undergraduate and first year graduate students). The main topics are: - The job market for graduates in science and engineering (industry, national labs and academia; advantages and disadvantages) - Funding in modern science - Publish or perish; publishing quality papers, having an impact - Presenting your work to your peers - The fundamental laws of ‘scientific survival’ (know yourself, plan ahead, and play chess) - Ethics in modern science - Alternative careers Reference: F. Rosei, T.W. Johnston, “Survival Skills for Scientists”, Imperial College Press (2006).
