TIPS FOR A GOOD SCIENCE

In these days of increased competition (paper, paper and more papers) and uncertain career prospects in academia (poor funding), it is easy for young scientists to forget why they do science in the first place. But too much career anxiety can backfire, put young scientists at risk of losing the fun of science, and harm their chances of success. Today, in contrast to 30 years back, young investigators must be continuously justifying what they do. They find themselves under a great pressure, and that this is not good for creativity, which is the essence of the scientific activity. In this General scope seminar, I will gather different recommendations in order to follow good practices in science as well as tips for improve writing and oral presentation skills in order to boost your research career.
