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.
Being a scientist is one of the most rewarding careers. You will work on solutions to problems with real world application and impact.
You will have a lot of ‘good’ ideas throughout your scientific career, but unfortunately, not all of them will be well received by others.
If people cannot understand or find your project, the chances of it being highly successful are decreased.
In science, you have to accept that you will always have critics, and not everyone will agree with your point of view.
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.
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?
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.
How many times have you gone into a project, at home or work, and then ended up in a situation where you go ‘yeah well I didn’t realise that, or think of that, before we started!’
