Scidata publishing better science through better data competition winner Jonathan Page.
An intrepid, khaki-clad explorer, machete in hand, cutting their way through some undiscovered wilderness. A bespectacled, grey-haired academic in a white coat, supervising some elaborate experiment in a lab, illuminated by glowing lights and flashing buttons. These are the classical images sometimes conjured when the word ‘scientist’ is mentioned.
10. Making a simple and engaging grant application was one of the most important things for our readers this month, with Viviane Callier talking us through the process of building a message that conveys your science well, as part of our ongoing faculty series.
9. Monya Baker and Gautham Venugoplan sat down to have a chat last month, and they were good enough to share it with us. Here, Gautham describes switching careers from bioengineering to consulting, and explains how he still uses his scientific training daily.
8. The Jobs of the Future initiative (JOF) is a platform that will allow scientists to present what new jobs they think are coming to us in 2030. Michael Fischer and Mandë Holford talk about the genesis of the idea, and why they think it’s important.
7. Eli Lazarus talks us through how an iterative digidynamic cross-platform publishing process synergizes innovation across multiplatform research space. Whoops, sorry – how writing together bridges disciplines and cuts jargon.
6. From 2008 to 2011, Andrew Simons led a programme in Ethiopia for a US-based non-profit relief organization. After that he got a PhD in applied economics. Here he talks to Virginia Gewin about his career path and plans for the future.
