The ethics of using animals in research is a large and complex subject.

Project management is a structured process to actively plan and implement strategies to manage risks to projects and identify and enhance opportunities.

Communication of your science is core to your science having impact, and the well-established way to present scientific findings is in the form of an abstract.

At the beginning of your project, you should clearly understand what the project is planning to achieve as the primary outcome.

Projects are defined by three main constraints – time, cost and quality. Managing the budget is part of the third stage of project management documentation to mitigate project risks.

Risk management is what you do when a ‘risk’ becomes an ‘issue’, which puts you in the situation where you have to work out how you are going to manage this issue to keep the project on track.

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.
