Effective Lab Skills: Managing People, Projects, and Money
Academic scientists face many challenges in running their own lab. Beyond doing good research, lab heads need to consider many practicalities, including managing their staff (hiring, retaining, and motivating), developing reasonable timelines for projects and keeping them on track, and how to properly track grant budgets. Watch this Science Careers live webinar to gain insight from experts related to effective laboratory management skills. During the webinar you'll be able to submit questions live. Don't miss this opportunity to pick the brains of experienced and practiced academic managers.
