In this “Food for Thought” piece published in the , Steve Murawski, Professor and St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership Endowed Chair, traces the milestones of his nearly 50-year-long career in ocean science – and shares invaluable lessons he has learned along the way.
Finding a job that excites and motivates us as individuals makes all the difference between “having a job” and “building a career” fed by our passions, he says. And this priceless gem meant for early career scientists: “Don’t get discouraged with the pace of your professional development – we all have to pay a certain amount of professional dues and this time in your career is important for developing your skills and finding your inspiration.”
Gratulacje, Steve!
