Who Wants to be a Scientist? : Choosing Science as a Career

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full

(Paperback)-As careers in science have become increasingly demanding, they require much more than a keen scientific mind and practical ability. If you are considering a career in research, have already embarked on your career and want to succeed, are uncertain which route to take or advise, train or supervise scientists, this book offers some helpful advice. Nancy Rothwell, a senior scientist with extensive experience training scientists and communicating with the public, covers topics ranging from choosing a PhD or postdoctoral position, successful interviews and preparing your cv to managing your supervisor; how to give successful talks, publish high quality papers and become known within your field. Broader aspects of science which are so important today are also covered, including ethics and fraud, intellectual property and exploitation and disseminating science to the public.

  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Sep 4 2008

    Dame Nancy Rothwell has written a fantastic book which is *probably* the "only organized" blueprint for scientists at all levels. Whether you're an undergraduate/postgraduate student, teacher or researcher, this is the one book out there that prescribes an agreebale path to follow in order to achieve success in the field of science. She covers everything up until and beyond patenting your research work. Brilliant! If you are a scientist, get this book before your next new shirt.

  2. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Jan 12 2007

    The book is good for students who want to be scientists. It mentions many details to be take care of during the process of study.

  3. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Aug 25 2006

    It analyzed both the technical and non-technical aspects of today's research life. the advice is practical and helpful. I felt lucky to have found a book like this.
