It helps build the skills necessary to become successful in the world of professional science by answering the often neglected but career-defining questions of:• How do I work creatively once I have left exams and course books behind?• How do I effectively communicate my scientific achievements in oral presentations and written publications?• Should I protect my accomplishments with a patent and, if so, how? "Most importantly, this book shows young scientists how to develop their own optimum working habits, an essential ingredient of a successful career in science. In addition, readers will gain an understanding of the machinery of scientific publishing, including electronic publishing. The final chapter is devoted to patents, an area in which scientists frequently fail to recognize and exploit good opportunities. "The authors have taken pains to write in a simple, informal style avoiding the minor but cumbersome technical details often encountered in such guides. Nearly every graduate student and working scientist will find useful hints for improving their creativity and communicating their ideas and results effectively. With proven techniques, useful tips, and practical perspectives on building a career in science, this book will enable you, the reader, to Make Your Mark in Science.
