AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around seeking book recommendations for professional scientists, particularly in the field of physics, focusing on research culture, grant applications, funding acquisition, and effective time management. Two notable books are highlighted: "How to Think Like a Scientist" by Steven Krantz, which offers detailed guidance from graduate school applications to early career choices, and "What is Mathematics?" by Ian Stewart, which provides a broader perspective on the profession. Both texts, while aimed at mathematicians, are deemed relevant for physicists due to the similarities in their academic paths. The recommendations emphasize the importance of understanding the scientific research landscape and effective career strategies.

I'm looking for a book that gives advice on how to research as a professional scientist. I am looking for insight into the culture of industrial research, applying for grants and obtaining funding, methods and techniques to use time your time effectively, etc. I'd prefer something from a physics standpoint.

Does anyone know of a good book that has some of these characteristics?

Thanks in advance!

The only books that I know of that give this type of mentoring advice are:

The first book goes through a lot of specifics from applying to graduate schools to early career decisions. I highly recommend it for those searching for a good discussion of what it means to become a career mathematician. The second book is more holistic, as it talks a little about what a mathematician does and things of this nature. Although they're geared for upcoming mathematicians, most if not all of the advice should apply to an upcoming physicist, especially the book by Krantz since most graduate programs in math and physics share a lot of similarities.

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
