Advice for a Young Scientist

Abstract My career has included astrophysics and space physics, always with a theoretical emphasis. first papers calculated nuclear reaction rates in dense stars, particularly neutron but I branched out to other areas or astrophysics. However, most of my work was the plasma physics magnetosphere ionosphere Earth. The central theme is Rice Convection Model (RCM). This paper very briefly describes development RCM, which involved many colleagues over course more than 50 years, our understanding magnetospheric advanced dramatically. this present not organized terms chronicle technical advances. It what think learned career.
