Project Management

I'm putting various links to project management resources here to synthesize how they may be tied to science.

• Management for Scientists by Addgene
• Project Management by Nick Jenkinson
• Project Management for Scientists
• Social Loafing
• Mythical Man Month
• Amdahl's law
• Gustafson's law
• W Edwards Deming
• Herbert Simon

Examples of Project Management failures in science/basic research:

• Charles Babbage's Difference Engine
• Hooke

Other Pitfalls:

• Taylorism - Don't want to squash creativity.
• Micromanagement example: guy who almost derailed LIGO

Advice:

• How to start a lab by Tim Behrens
