“As a scientist our success depends on our ability to navigate a world that operates on business principles, management skill, value-based decision making, and strong leadership, yet we are taught very little of that in our training. After attending this program, all of these ideas and un-articulated forces within science are now brightly visible to me. Now, being able to see them clearly, I feel confident I'll be able to use them to my advantage, rather than be used by them. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to have an authoritative say in the direction of their career.”
