Scientists Need More! Taking Decisions. 
Which job to take? Which project to pursue? Which collaboration to start? We are faced with a continuous stream of choices to take and decisions to make. There are easy choices and there are hard choices to make. However, in contrast to what may be intuitive, the difference between easy and hard is not connected to the difference between choices with small consequences compared to choices with large consequences. Rather, easy choices are those where one option is obviously better. In contrast hard choices are the ones where it is unclear which choice is the better one. And this difficulty in choosing can occur in choices with grave consequences and also in those choices with small consequences.
 
After this workshop, you will be conscious of the hardwired mechanics underlying our decision making and will be able to manage your decisions and the involved processes.
 

Please register for the workshop, latest by September 30th.
