Being a scientist is one of the most rewarding careers. You will work on solutions to problems with real world application and impact.
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.
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).
One of the most important things to remember about effective communication is you need to ensure people understand what it is you’re saying.
You will have a lot of ‘good’ ideas throughout your scientific career, but unfortunately, not all of them will be well received by others.
In science, you have to accept that you will always have critics, and not everyone will agree with your point of view.
Projects, just like anything in life, don’t always go to plan. If, or when, something goes wrong, or something unexpected happens with your project, you are likely going to have to alter your scope, outcome or possibly even resources to still achieve an effective outcome for your project and make the intended impact.
If people cannot understand or find your project, the chances of it being highly successful are decreased.
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?
