Inhaltsangabe
Scientists are trained in scholarship and technical skills but not, typically, in how to deal with their peers, supervisors, or staff who report to them. Yet even a first-rate research project can fail or flounder if the people concerned can t get along. Lab Dynamics is a book about the challenges of doing science and dealing with the individuals involved, including oneself. The authors, a scientist and a psychotherapist, draw on principles of group and behavioral psychology but speak to scientists in their own language. They offer in-depth, practical advice, real-life examples, and exercises tailored to scientific and technical workplaces on topics as diverse as conflict resolution, negotiation, dealing with supervision, working with competing peers, and making transitions between academia and industry. This book addresses a subject of direct importance to lab heads, postdocs, students, and managers concerned about improving the effectiveness of academic and industrial research.

Críticas
[This] book explores the specifics of professional and personal interactions between individuals working in a scientific environment. It is a useful practical management guide not only for those who are considering scientific leadership as the next step of their career, but also for postdocs and postgraduate students, who need to interact productively with their peers and scientific advisors. What makes Lab Dynamics an unusual book is that it is largely based on personal experience and is written from the perspective of social and behavioural psychology. The authors, one is a successful scientist and President of Science Management Associations, the other is a Licensed Psychologist and Clinical instructor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School, use real-life examples to illustrate how simple and seemingly unessential conflicts may have serious implications if systematically ignored. Detailed analysis of critical situations is accompanied by valuable exercises and practical advice ranging from how to resolve delicate situations to how to deal with obnoxious behaviour of inconsiderate individuals. For those unfamiliar with research in the industry, the book also illustrates the basic differences between academia and biotech companies in the management of scientific projects and teams...
