From academia to Silicon Valley — and back

From academia to Silicon Valley — and back

Although faculty members transition from industry to academia (and vice-versa), it’s rare to go back and forth. How does each setting help a researcher grow, and what skills are critical in both environments? Sam King offers his insight.  Read more

Communication: talk to peers and the general public

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Collaboration, Communication, CV, Multimedia, Perspectives, PhD, Podcast, Social media

Communication: talk to peers and the general public

As scientists, our work is often driven by data collection and results. But a key step in the scientific process, and one that increases the value of our findings, is the effective communication of our investigative processes and results. Science communication is not only important within our fields for the advancement of our disciplines – communication to other audiences also influences the public perception and credibility of scientists and the work we do.  Read more

Science communication: A solution to the upcoming Brexit funding gap?

Post-Brexit furor is hard to avoid in the UK media at the moment. Endless speculation surrounds what looks to be a socioeconomic experiment on a national scale, and it goes without saying that the implications will be far-reaching across all UK industries.  Read more

Bonding in Boston: The importance of networking in science

Bonding in Boston: The importance of networking in science

A long time ago in a land galaxy far far away, there was a great gathering where those weary of the well-trodden trail of tenureships and grants repaired themselves. The gathering in question was the Naturejobs career expo, a free one-day event organized for students and scientists alike. Featuring some truly inspiring speakers, it gave a much-needed boost to my hope for a career in science that can be both emotionally and financially (yes, $$$) satisfying.  Read more

Craft your connection

Posted by Karen Kaplan | Categories: Academia, Blog, Careers articles, Collaboration, Communication, Data, Faculty, Multimedia, Open access, Postgraduate, Publishing, Relationships, Social media, Technology, Uncategorized

Craft your connection

Don’t forget that you need to nurture your online persona – the summation and entirety of every bit of online information about you or that involves you, both written and visual. Someone may well have already posted some of this. But you can still shape and guide a great deal of the accessible online information about you — and the image that this information creates — by actively managing the content over which you have some control.  Read more

Getting the message out

Posted by Karen Kaplan | Categories: Academia, Ask the expert, Blog, Careers articles, Communication, Perspectives, PhD, Publishing, Research, Social media

Getting the message out

So you’re all over Twitter and Facebook and you even have a blog. Good on you – you’re your own public-relations and outreach specialist, getting the word out about your science. But what about the other kind of outreach – what’s still called science communication? Can you talk with a member of the press for an interview, or deliver your message to key thought leaders – such as government officials who decide on funding agencies’ annual budgets? Is it just a bit scarier than tweeting?  Read more
