There is so much more to doing science than journal publications or grant applications, but those are the parts that often get the most attention and rewards. In this talk, I would like to discuss other forces that largely shape our research and thinking, but generally stay out of the spotlight in our field – project (and people) management and research infrastructure, as perceived by a computational chemist-turned-project manager-turned-nonprofit director. Project management and research infrastructure have become even more important in this era of information overload and global connectivity enabling large-scale collaborations, where clarity can quickly become an elusive and scarce resource. I will share some thoughts and lessons learned from managing my own research projects to working with a distributed team on research software development.
