A scientist is one of the few professions where failure means progress. No one wants their project or experiments to fail, but a large part of science is failing and learning it.
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.
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.
A pitch is a presentation, either formal or informal, that you give when you want or need something from someone. It could be money, expertise, support, time etc.
There is truth behind the saying, “a picture tells a thousand words”, because humans interpret images better than written words.
Scientists want to create positive changes and do work that is impactful.
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.
How you conduct your science projects will have constraints – things that just cannot be compromised on.
The old adage, ‘you’ve got to be in it to win it’ applies to awards in science just as much as it does in any other context.
