title: Tips for success: getting more done in less time.
abstract: Whether a student or full professor, it seems there is never enough time in the day to get everything done. Yet as a scientist rises through the ranks, somehow she is expected to do even more. Excellent time management skills enable one to work more effectively, and to accomplish more in less time. Therefore, the ability to manage time well is paramount to success. Here, three busy full professors, David Kimelman, Ph.D., Thomas Rando, Ph.D., and Monica Vetter, Ph.D. share tips on how they organize and prioritize their time, and cope with unexpected demands.
