Regardless of whether your project was a success, ended badly, or fell somewhere in between, there should always be a proper wrap up of the project.

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

Humans are constantly weighing the costs and benefits of decisions, but how do you know what a risk is? Or what a risk looks like?

It takes a certain kind of person, commitment and perseverance to be a successful scientist, in any field or application…but take a moment to think about all the skills that you have developed as a scientist.

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).

Most humans are terrible at estimating time. Usually because every detail is rarely considered, or known, coupled with misperceptions about how long it takes to do various tasks.

There will always be more than one audience that will be affected by your project and its outcomes.

In science, you have to accept that you will always have critics, and not everyone will agree with your point of view.
