Researchers must also communicate their ideas and findings with scholarly audiences, and do so effectively. These audiences are no different from those found at your local theater: they understand each paper you write or talk you deliver insofar as it tells a compelling story. Yet, your storytelling doesn't stop with a single paper or talk. Scholarly records span years and multiple pieces of work. Successful researchers learn to synthesize their records to tell a larger story: a research program. In this book, Andres De Los Reyes describes how narrative tools commonly used in film help you build a research program. Tailored to the lives of early career researchers, these tools reveal keen insights into working with mentors, navigating peer review, and nailing the job talk that launches your career"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Research isn't all elegant study designs, accurate data collection, and sophisticated equations.
