Non-Academic Guest Speaker Exploring the art of delivering science in the Canadian Artic: mistakes made and lessons learned When visiting university departments over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with many graduate students and Post-Doctoral researchers. At an early career stage in their career, discussions were narrowly focused on science approaches, new findings, and graduate thesis completion. This seminar intends to get people thinking beyond that, and to consider what it takes to build and lead a successful science team of your own. Drawing on my own experience conducting research in the Arctic, I will discuss topics such as how to recruit and retain the best people, establish collaborations, and identify the ‘performance measures’ of science (including, but not limited to, publication). Importantly, I will provide examples of where I made mistakes and the consequence of those, and how I spotted research and collaborative opportunities.
