If people cannot understand or find your project, the chances of it being highly successful are decreased.

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).

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.

Writing a report for research you have completed that was funded externally is generally compulsory, so you should know how to write a good report.

The first step in risk planning and management is identifying the 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.
