Science Managers play a crucial role in translating scientific objectives into actionable plans and ensuring that projects are completed efficiently and effectively. They often have advanced degrees in science and strong leadership, organizational, and communication skills.

What are the main challenges a Science Manager faces when leading interdisciplinary research teams?
