For your science to have an impact, it needs to be accessible to as many people as possible.

The first step in project risk planning and management is identifying what the potential positive and negative risks are for your project and capturing these in the risk register.

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.

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.

Scientific experiments need to be replicable, otherwise the credibility of any results you get may become questionable if no one else can demonstrate what you did.

Communication is a skill that must be learned.

There is the need to write in any project you do. What needs to be written, and how much of your time it takes will be different for everyone, but most scientists will underestimate how much of their time will be spent writing.

Most scientists at one stage or another are involved in the preparation and submission of an article or paper to a scientific journal.
