A common #dilemma for our #graduate students and #postdocs is choosing between a managerial #career and continuing with technical work. The paper below may help them with this decision 🧪 #education #science #academics #laboratory #management #stem #engineering 👇 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Should I climb the career ladder as a manager, or will I regret leaving the lab bench behind?
I’m not sure if a management role in science is for me. How do I decide?
