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

How you write something versus how you say something can change the way your message
is communicated, and its effectiveness in reaching your target audience.

Once you’ve identified your risks you can then set about putting things in place to minimise or avoid negative risks, increase chances of an opportunity arising or its impact, and working out which risks should just be accepted.

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

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.

The ethics of using animals in research is a large and complex subject.

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

It is important to have key messages for your research ready to go so that you can effectively communicate your work in a way that it is easy for most people to understand.
