The Savvy Scientist: Manage your lab, your money, your life

By John Corthell

The Savvy Scientist is the book that scientists wish they had when they started graduate school. This book is packed with advice on picking a school, saving money, getting affordable equipment, making friends, and how to approach your sales rep. It is also full of jokes. The author's hard-fought experience is shared in the hopes of helping new students navigate graduate school and managing laboratories, including the pursuit of grant funding and well-planned experiments. If you're new to research, The Savvy Scientist was written for you. If you know someone who is new to research or needs to manage a lab for the first time, The Savvy Scientist was written for them too. The Savvy Scientist is also a sympathetic look at science from someone who has been there. This book addresses impostor syndrome, "being a traitor to science," and more. It was written to be an encouragement to new researchers. Hopefully it makes them laugh a bit, too.
