Below are ten common faux-pas that can ruin a career and should be avoided at all costs.    1.

Image: European Southern Observatory    Each year, we gain a slightly better understanding of the nature of the universe and our place in it.  FOR MOST OF US, the mapping technology we use on a daily basis is limited to dash-mounted GPS units.   No disrespect — I mean, just 10 years ago we were dependent on  hard-copy road atlases to get where we were going; cutting-edge meant  route-finding in Mapquest and then printing off the pages.   But as you read this, hundreds of teams of scientists are working  with vastly more complex technologies to map everything from the far  reaches of the universe to the most infinitesimally small particles  within it.
