How to be truly productive in your career? Consider the P to PC ratio (Episode VI of Success Series) – MetaMorgan TV



In Part VI of the program on science careers, efficacy, and bringing in big bux to get recognized for the science that you do, Morgan talks about how to optimize your productivity. In order to truly optimize it - over the long haul - you have to consider your P to PC ratio. You probably haven't considered this before, but it is a vital concept, especially when you find yourself feeling like you need to work harder and longer hours - or in getting your personnel to work harder and longer hours.

Learning to love your science – being proactive (Episode V of Success Series) – MetaMorgan TV



In Part V of this series on science career efficacy, Morgan discusses one aspect of running a science lab - being proactive, contrasted to being reactive. She focuses on a comment she heard about some PI's that "require" their students/postdocs to be present 70 hours/wk, and whether or not that reflects proactivity.

Quality versus Quantity when it comes to grant writing, which wins? – MetaMorgan TV

There are two distinct mindsets among many scientists about grant writing. One approach is to write many grants, to "play the odds". Necessarily, when quantity goes up, quality goes down. Another approach is to write less grants but of higher quality. These take more time, but may have better odds of getting funded. Which way do you think Morgan advocates for? Find out in today's episode of The Not So Boring Scientist. Leave a note in the comments if you disagree!
