Abstract

Young researchers often encounter questions, problems and hurdles at the early stages of their careers that relate to areas, particularly outside their core subject.

Drawing on our experience in audiovisual translation and natural sciences research, we address some of these issues in a way we wish someone had done for us many years ago.
