To become a successful researcher, you                         will need to be organized, exert critical thinking, be  curious, master some technical skills, and work hard. There are online tools to help you acquire some of these skills. For example:

​

• Be organized, organized, organized.... Best Practices for Scientific Computing and A Quick Guide to Organizing Computational Biology Projects

​

• A good place to learn Linux, Python, and GitHub is at Software Carpentry.

​

You are not out of the wood after your research is done. You still need to present your work to the community by:

​

• Designing Effective Scientific Figures

• and writing papers. Check The art of scientific writing, The Science of Scientific Writings and Tell me a Story.
