The era of big data is coming: Scientists need to step out of their comfort zone

The era of big data is coming: Scientists need to step out of their comfort zone

On my first day as a new PhD student, freshly awarded molecular genetics degree in hand, I was sat down at a laptop with an unfamiliar operating system and was encouraged to explore some data using arr.

Others experienced the opposite, entering the world of biology from a computer science background.  Read more

Transferable skills: What are scientists good at (other than science)?

In today’s competitive world, it’s become increasingly common for scientists to question where their skills and knowledge will fit outside the lab. Academic research is a harsh place, littered with the victims of funding decisions and research projects that didn’t quite go to plan. The idea, even amongst scientists, that we are highly specialised professionals with no role outside the lab has become a persistent limitation in this search. So, what is the need for a scientist in any other capacity?  Read more
