Contributing to a student organization, such as the International Society for Computational Biology Student Council (ISCB-SC) and its Regional Student Group (RSG) program, takes time and energy. Both are scarce commodities, especially when you are trying to find your place in the world of computational biology as a graduate student. It comes as no surprise that organizing ISCB-SC-related activities sometimes interferes with day-to-day research and shakes up your priority list. However, we unanimously agree that the rewards, both in the short as well as the long term, make the time spent on these extracurricular activities more than worth it. In this article, we will explain what makes this so worthwhile: soft skills.
参与学生组织,如国际计算生物学学会学生理事会(ISCB-SC)及其地区学生组织(RSG)计划,需要时间和精力。这两者都是稀缺资源,尤其是当你作为一名研究生试图在计算生物学领域找到自己的位置时。因此,组织与 ISCB-SC 相关的活动有时会干扰日常研究,并打乱你的优先级列表,这并不奇怪。然而,我们一致认为,无论是短期还是长期,这些活动带来的回报都使我们花费在这些课外活动上的时间是非常值得的。在本文中,我们将解释为什么会这样:软技能。
