Our Hands Off Science series explores opportunities to use your scientific knowledge and background beyond hands on research.

Dr Lisa Heinke talks to us about making the positive choice to pursue a career outside of academia and how scientific publishing gives her the best of both academia and the world outside by enabling her to explore and connect with scientists in a much wider field. She also lets you in on the secret that editors get just as excited about accepting papers as researchers are about having them accepted!
