The first step in project risk planning and management is identifying what the potential positive and negative risks are for your project and capturing these in the risk register.
How you conduct your science projects will have constraints – things that just cannot be compromised on.
How you write something versus how you say something can change the way your message
is communicated, and its effectiveness in reaching your target audience.
Scientists want to create positive changes and do work that is impactful.
In everyday life, work, and science projects, people generally don’t like to talk about risk. There is a perception that talking about risk will stop something from happening (e.g. a project).
Communications can present the greatest risks to a project, as such, most funding organisations will require you to create a communications plan with your project.
In science, you have to accept that you will always have critics, and not everyone will agree with your point of view.
It is important to have key messages for your research ready to go so that you can effectively communicate your work in a way that it is easy for most people to understand.
In Australia, the conduct of research involving humans is governed by various state legislation, which links to the NHMRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research and the Australian Code for Responsible Conduct of Research.
