Clinical and Translational Research Network

November 24, 2009 By Leave a Comment

logo_ctscinet_250x70 Welcome to CTSciNet, the Clinical and Translational Science Network, which is a web-based social networking infrastructure developed by Science Careers, AAAS, and sponsored by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.

The objective of this network is to help scientists who are interested in becoming involved in the clinical and translational research field to communicate with others to establish collaborations, share ideas, discuss career-related issues, and more. In addition to the community, CTSciNet members have access to a fantastic collection of articles and resources for clinical and translational research.

For more information, details, and to register, please visit Welcome to CTSciNet.

If you are a basic scientist, once you join the community, please be sure to join the Translational Research for PhD Scientists group.

Collaboration for Young Scientists

January 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment

A healthy collaboration in science can be a crucial element for conducting a successful and sustainable research program. By combining their different strengths toward a common goal, scientists can usually help one another reach their research targets more efficiently.

For young scientists (especially graduate students and post-docs), establishing collaborations can provide another set of benefits, which are discussed in Peter Fiske’s recent article in Science: Opportunities: Career Advantages of Collaboration.

In addition, in his article, Fiske writes about how to identify opportunities and what should you look for in a collaborator, if you are a young scientist.

ResearchGate: Closing the Gap between Scientists

December 21, 2008 By 2 Comments

In addition to trying to “close the gap” between science and society, one of our goals here is to bring scientists closer to one another to foster openness, cooperation, and collaboration.

I would like to invite you to visit the “Facebook” for scientists: Research Gate launched about 6 months ago. It is a great tool to meet other scientists in your field for discussion and/or collaboration, join groups, and much more.

Visit Research Gate, create a profile, and network with the other 20,000 scientists who are the ResearchGate community.
