At a recent event promoting a new coloring book called "Super Cool Scientists," two young sisters were drawn to a picture of a Muslim woman wearing a hijab. Their mother also wears the head scarf.
"They just lit up — 'Mom, come look at this' — because they weren't expecting to see someone who looked like their mom," says author Sara MacSorley of Middletown. "That was a really powerful moment."

I’ve seen it a dozen times or more. The best candidate for one of the jobs that I am filling walks away with a polite “thanks” instead of a job offer. Another prospect gets the job because of an outstanding presentation at their invited job talk. These talks are important! You need to make a winning presentation that will help you stand out. And you’ll find that, just as with any other aspect of your job search, the way that talks work at companies is often completely different from what you’ve experienced in academia.

As a college student or teenager, it can be incredibly intimidating to approach and network with more experienced professionals.

In exchange for, well, nothing.

It’s not just entry-level job seekers who make rookie mistakes. As the head of a career transition services firm, I see a lot of seasoned professionals (and even executives) make some pretty egregious miscalculations in their job searches, too. Sure, many of them should really know better, but many of the most common mistakes come from overconfidence in one’s experience. Here are a few of them you’ll want to avoid at every stage of your career.

Motivation in the lab can be fleeting, even when you’re excited about your thesis project, the data is flowing, your labmates are supportive, and your principal investigator is your advocate. As a molecular biologist and mentor with more than 23 years of experience navigating success and failure at the bench, I certainly understand the complicated relationship researchers have with motivation — and have experienced it firsthand. I’ve learned that the key is to make your lab routine work with who you are, not against.

 Good public speaking and powerful presentation skills are essential tools for effective persuasion. Persuasion skills are the ability to influence, convince, negotiate and sell — something all of us will need at some point during our lifetime. And I'll bet that most of have been in situations where we've had to say a few words in public but got cold feet. The good news is that public speaking is a learned trait and can be mastered.
