The upside of failure: how regional student groups learn from their mistakes.
Success is the result of planning, hard work, determination, foresight, and a little bit of luck. Unfortunately, nobody has thought to pave the road to success. Although failure can be discouraging and time-consuming, it presents incredible learning opportunities-the biggest difference between those who succeed and those who abandon their projects lies in their response to adversity. This article reviews events undertaken by the Regional Student Groups (RSGs) in India and Argentina, the problems they encountered, and what can be learned from them. RSG-India attempted to organize an online scientific meeting (also known as a virtual conference) with geographically dispersed stakeholders, a totally new concept for them. RSG-Argentina tackled the challenge of organizing a two-day symposium, their first event ever. Some of the complications they faced were easy to fix, others led to the cancellation of activities, and all of them resulted in valuable lessons. The main goal of this article is to highlight, through their experiences, the universal importance of a healthy panel of contingency plans.

Upande wa kushindwa: jinsi vikundi vya wanafunzi wa kikanda vinavyojifunza kutoka kwa makosa yao. Mafanikio ni matokeo ya kupanga, kufanya kazi kwa bidii, kuazimia, kuona mbele, na bahati kidogo. Kwa kusikitisha, hakuna mtu aliyefikiria kutayarisha njia ya kufanikiwa. Ingawa kushindwa kunaweza kuwa kukatisha tamaa na kuchukua muda, kunaonyesha fursa za kujifunza za ajabu - tofauti kubwa kati ya wale wanaofanikiwa na wale wanaoacha miradi yao iko katika majibu yao kwa shida. Makala hii inazungumzia matukio yaliyofanywa na Vikundi vya Wanafunzi wa Mkoa (RSG) nchini India na Argentina, matatizo waliyoyakutana nayo, na kile kinachoweza kujifunza kutoka kwao. RSG India ilijaribu kuandaa mkutano wa kisayansi mtandaoni (unaojulikana pia kama mkutano wa kawaida) na wadau waliotawanyika kijiografia, dhana mpya kabisa kwao. RSF-Argentina imepanga kuandaa mkutano wa siku mbili, tukio lao la kwanza. Baadhi ya matatizo waliyokabili yalikuwa rahisi kusuluhisha, mengine yalisababisha kufuta shughuli, na yote yalisababisha masomo yenye thamani. Lengo kuu la makala hii ni kuangazia, kupitia uzoefu wao, umuhimu wa ulimwengu wa jopo la afya la mipango ya dharura. Publix ni kampuni ya kompyuta ya Publix, ambayo ni kampuni ya kompyuta ya Publix.
