Working at the interface of physics and biology: An early career researcher perspective
We are a network of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and a Project Manager who are working on UKRI’s “Physics of Life” grants which aim to merge ideas and techniques predominantly used in physics and apply them to biological questions.

| description | We are a network of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and a Project Manager who are working on UKRI’s “Physics of Life” grants which aim to merge ideas and techniques predominantly used in physics and apply them to biological questions. We have been collaborating since early 2021 to share research, experiences, and provide peer to peer support.Interdisciplinary projects are known for presenting challenges, bringing together disparate subjects and people with not only different knowledge bases, methods, and equipment but also varying ways of working and common languages. This has been the subject of commentary by researchers and funders from a management perspective, and we wanted to add to this discourse, using our experience to share the lessons and challenges we have encountered, from an ECR perspective. |
