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

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Career paths, Collaboration, Communication, Data, Events, Industry, Mobility, Publishing

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
