Having good mentoring is vital to move forward in a science career. Today's careers are fraught with complexities that didn't previously exist, and navigating through those can be daunting without good advice. However, if you seek out mentors who are too close to the "outcome of the experiment" (that would be you and your career), you are risking problems.

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.

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.
