R.Science December 2013 Skills for Scientists Careers Special

This month we’re look at some of the skills scientists can develop outside of their labs, which can help them in their careers. You can hear from participants in two of the training courses we run, on media skills and leadership effectiveness. We also handed the microphone over to some budding scientists who had the chance to 'Ask a scientist' some questions themselves. Finally, we caught up with participants in the Royal Society’s Pairing Scheme, which matches research scientists with MPs, senior civil servants and Lords. http://blogs.royalsociety.org/rscience/2013/12/19/december-2013-skills-for-scientists-careers-special/
