Guillaume Lobet & Sarah Garé
Via Zoom
Course Contents:
As researchers, we work hard on projects, put our hearts, souls and blood (not really, but you get the idea) in papers, proposals, presentations. And yet, these papers get rejected, the proposal not funded, the presentation thrashed. This is hard. However, failure and criticism are everywhere in academia. They are even central components of the scientific process, indispensable for the whole research enterprise. In this workshop we will discuss failure in academia, explore its many facets and, most importantly, discuss how to deal with it in order to make the best of it.
