How to succeed in science

Making discoveries, part II of Jonathan W. Yewdell's How to succeed in science: a concise guide for young biomedical scientists, is published in the June issue of Nature Reviews Cell and Molecular Biology (9, 491-494; 2008). "Making discoveries is the most important part of being a scientist, and also the most fun", writes Dr Yewdrell. "This article provides practical advice to young scientists on choosing a research topic, on designing, performing and interpreting experiments and on maintaining their sanity in the process."
Part I, Taking the plunge, was published in May.

Maxine, I came across this because you mentioned it on Nature Network (but can't quite remember where exactly). I've read both articles and think that they are brilliant distillations of how to do science and make a successful career out of it. I was heartened that it resonated with some of my own inarticulate musings on the scientific process! I will certainly be disseminating these among my own group and other students and postdocs at Imperial. It deserves the widest possible readership!
