Are you experienced

The crux of the problem is that many junior scientists focus all their time and efforts on producing results, and do not consider how to acquire additional skills. Even more importantly, they communicate poorly or not at all with each other, with their superiors or with society at large. This is a crucial point. Good communication helps not only to obtain additional skills and experience, but also to share information and expertise with those who pursue activities outside research. In fact, there are junior scientists who engage in various extracurricular initiatives to expand their horizons and increase their skills. Others have succeeded in using this experience to find interesting, secure and well-paid positions outside science. Yet few PhD students or postdoctoral researchers are aware of this.
