This book provides young scientists, from physicists through to
sociologists, the counsel and tools that are needed to be their own
agents and planners, to survive and succeed, hopefully even thrive
in science. Making a good career based on peer-reviewed science
means navigating many stressful phases from graduate school through
to permanent employment. Performing artists pay agents to help them
in this effort. In effect, this book is designed to allow you to
act as your own agent. You are counseled to analyze yourself deeply
to know clearly what you want and whether you can live with it, how
to make career choices and what you should then keep in mind, when
to fight and when to yield. The unwritten rules of the "science
game" are explained, including how to become published and known,
the pitfalls of peer review and how to evade them, papers and
posters, job interviews and getting your science funded.
Interspersed with this are illustrative anecdotes and a fair amount
of humor. While the book is aimed at young scientists, from
graduate students and beyond, more senior scientists will benefit
from seeing the world from the point of view of rising scientists
and become aware of the preoccupations of people in a system which
has changed much from when the present senior scientists were
rather younger.
