+* My journey (briefly)
++ IT industry (Australia) for about 15 years
+  + Taught me the value of *reliability* and somewhat how to achieve it
++ PhD in Reinforcement Learning in robotics (2003) at RMIT University
++ Cambridge University postdoc (4 years), RFID and industrial robotics
++ Coventry Uni since 2007 (Wireless sensing)
++ Reader in 2012, Prof in 2018
+* What is this talk?
++ Not persuasion---not everything will suit everyone
++ Reflect, reject or accept, adjust, make it your own
++ Quite short---feel free to discuss with me after if something's not clear
+* Curse of knowledge
++ Your point of view limits what you see
++ Make sure you ask others for advice
+* Vancouver protocol
++ Don't wait until you get in trouble with your co-authors
++ Absorb and understand the vancouver protocol for yourself and teach others around you
++ Science is not a game, your paper count / citation count is not the score
+* Proofreading club
++ Writing quality is critical to science
++ Being able to edit your own and others work is a key skill
++ Bring others together for proofreading sessions to
+  1. learn this skill collaboratively
+  2. edit each others work in a friendly environment
+* Time management / professionalism
++ Spend time learning how to increase your productivity
++ Zero your inbox regularly
++ Don't wait for your boss to come check on your task list
+* Value diversity
++ Not everyone is good at everything
++ Strong teams are diverse
++ Everyone should be involved with writing papers and proposals though
+* First one is for free
++ To engage with industry, you need to show them what you can do
++ Two ears, two eyes, one mouth---use them in those proportions
++ Don't assume you know more than they do about their topic area
++ When you understand what they need, create a demo solution
+  + But do the first one for free
+* Thanks!    
++ Questions?
