Description
Summary:[...]many of them lack a critical mass in some areas. [...]senior, better-funded scientists have less time for students. [...]many groups ranging from scientific to amateur make funding available for graduate students through small grant programs. Make a commitment to pay back to the country and people that helped you to do what you’ve done as part of your graduate research. Besides publishing all of your research, those investment returns can take the form of actions to bridge your work with issues of public interest: papers for a general readership, manuals, catalogues, and conferences for a broader audience.
