There are no UKFN messages this week. 

B. MEMBER MESSAGES 

GENERAL: 

FROM: Paul Roberts, University of Birmingham, 15/04/2024
SUBJECT: New Paper - Advice to Early-Mid Career Researchers
DETAILS: I'd like to tell you about my new paper, 'Advice to a Young
Mathematical Biologist' [1], published in the Bulletin of Mathematical
Biology. 

This article offers advice to early-mid career researchers across the
mathematical, physical and life sciences, with a particular focus on
Mathematical Biology. I've compiled advice from ten past and current
Presidents of the Society for Mathematical Biology across ten specific
topics, together with two, more general discussions. The topics covered
include deciding if a career in academia is right for you; finding and
working with a mentor; formulating a research question; networking; and
applying for faculty positions. 

Please see the video on X [2] or LinkedIn [3] for a brief description.
