Article Abstract:
A successful research career not only requires an aptitude for science but also skills like management communication and grant writing. Some of the universities which aim to teach these important skills to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty include University College London, Burroughs Wellcome Fund in partnership with Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Watson School of Biological Sciences.
